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
