PER CURIAM:

          Maria Neh Tancho, a native and citizen of Cameroon,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board) affirming without opinion the Immigration Judge’s

(IJ) denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal,

and protection under the Convention Against Torture.        Tancho

challenges the IJ’s finding that she failed to show by clear and

convincing evidence that her asylum application was timely filed.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(B) (2000); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a) (2003).

We conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review this claim pursuant

to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3) (2000).   We thus may not review her claim

that she in fact qualified for asylum.

          We accordingly dismiss 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.

                                                 PETITION DISMISSED
