Text: 1 Petitioner Sulaiman Tarawally 1 appeals the denial of his application for asylum and for withholding of removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and his request for relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Forms of Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention Against Torture or Convention). We now add our voice to the chorus of other circuits which have held that a court of appeals lacks jurisdiction to review an asylum petition that an Immigration Judge (IJ) or Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) deems untimely. In reaching the merits of the petitioner's requests for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture, we conclude that the Immigration Judge's finding that Tarawally was not likely to be persecuted or tortured was supported by substantial evidence.
