   MEMORANDUM

Sheema Ahmed, a native of Bangladesh and citizen of Australia, and her son and daughter, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their application for asylum from Bangladesh and Australia and for withholding of removal to Australia. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing due process claims de novo, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003), and the agency’s factual findings for substantial evidence, Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 971 n. 16 (9th Cir.1998), we deny the petition for review.

We have jurisdiction to review whether the agency violated Ahmed’s due process rights in denying her asylum application as untimely. See Ramadan v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 1218, 1221 (9th Cir. 2005). Ahmed’s due process claim is unavailing because she did not show how the agency’s alleged failure to allow her to explain why her application was untimely affected the outcome of her case, and thus failed to establish prejudice. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000).

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Ahmed failed to establish that the Australian government is unable or unwilling to control those who threatened her or may threaten her in Australia. As such, Ahmed has failed to meet her burden of establishing eligibility for withholding of removal to Australia. See Reyes-Reyes v. Ashcroft, 384 F.3d 782, 788 (9th Cir.2004).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
