Respondent.
Submitted:
Decided:
PER CURIAM:
Gerard Compaore, a native and citizen of Burkina Faso,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) affirming without opinion the immigration judges
order denying his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture and an order of the
Board
denying
his
motion
for
reconsideration.
We
deny
his
petition.
We note that Compaores challenges to the underlying
decision of the immigration judge, as affirmed by the Board without
opinion, are not properly before the court because he did not file
a timely petition for review of the Boards decision.
