Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Sviatlana Davydzenka, a native and citizen of Belarus, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the Immigration Judge's denial of her applications for relief from removal.
Davydzenka first disputes the Board's finding that her asylum application was not timely filed and that no exceptions applied to excuse the untimeliness. We have reviewed Davydzenka's claims in this regard and find that we do not have jurisdiction to review this determination. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(8) (2006); Lizama v. Holder, 629 F.3d 440, 444-46 (4th Cir.2011); Gomis v. Holder, 571 F.3d 353, 358-59 (4th Cir.2009), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 1048, 175 L.Ed.2d 881 (2010).
Next, Davydzenka challenges the Board's finding that she failed to qualify for withholding of removal. "To qualify for withholding of removal, a petitioner must show that he faces a clear probability of persecution because of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion." Rusu v. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 324 n. 13 (4th Cir.2002) (citing INS v. Stevic, 467 U.S. 407, 430, 104 S.Ct. 2489, 81 L.Ed.2d 321 (1984)). We have reviewed the record and Davydzenka's contentions and conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding below that Davydzenka did not meet her burden to qualify for this relief. Finally, we uphold the agency determination that Davydzenka failed to qualify for protection under the Convention Against Torture. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2) (2011).
Accordingly, we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED IN PART; AND DENIED IN PART.
