Respondent.
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A79 464 889
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Adel I A Dawoud was born in Libya but moved to the West Bank of the
Jordan when he was a child. He has petitioned this court for review of the Board
of Immigration Appeals (BIA) order affirming the denial of asylum, withholding
of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Dawoud’s
due process claim about the process he received relative to his application for
asylum fails because he does not have a constitutionally protected liberty

interest in asylum. See Ahmed v. Gonzales, 447 F.3d 433, 440 (5th Cir. 2006);
Majd v. Gonzales, 446 F.3d 590, 595 (5th Cir. 2006); 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(A).
Dawoud fails to show that the record compels reversal of the finding of the IJ
that he is not entitled to asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the
CAT. See; Lopez-Gomez v. Ashcroft, 263 F.3d 442, 444 (5th Cir. 2001); Mikhael
v. INS, 115 F.3d 299, 306 (5th Cir. 1997). Furthermore, the BIA did not abuse
its discretion when it refused to reopen the proceedings. See Lara v. Trominski,
216 F.3d 487, 496 (5th Cir. 2000). Review of the BIA's denial of asylum,
withholding of removal, and relief under the CAT is DENIED.
