United States Third Circuit

A petition for review, brought by a Pakistani father and son, of an order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying a motion for an emergency stay or removal and motion to reopen their joint application for asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, is denied where: 1) the Attorney General's motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is denied as the premature petition for review has ripened; and 2) the BIA did not abuse its discretion in finding that the petitioners' motion to reopen was untimely and that the changed country conditions exception in 8 U.S.C. section 1229a(C)(ii) was inapplicable.
