United States Ninth Circuit

In a petition for review of an order of the BIA affirming final order of removal of petitioner, a native and citizen of Mexico, petition is denied because applying the one-year filing deadline to asylum application does not violate the Equal Protection Clause, and domestic abuse that occurs in the United States does not constitute past persecution.
