06-2649, 06-3712 Miah v. Mukasey
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Loken, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - immigration. Petition for review denial of asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture and petition for review denial of motion to reopen are denied. Alien did not show extraordinary circumstance to excuse delay in asylum application and thus is ineligible. Alien did not show, as a landowner, he was persecuted on account of a particular social group to warrant withholding of removal or that government instigated or acquiesced in action by party leader’s private criminal activity to warrant CAT relief. BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying motion to reopen to obtain adjustment of status.
