United States Eighth Circuit

A Gambian citizen's petition for review from a denial of asylum and related relief is denied where the court could not review the denial of asylum due to its untimeliness, the IJ's credibility findings were supported by sufficient record evidence, and the IJ properly found that petitioner did not present sufficient credible evidence that he would be tortured if returned to Gambia.
