PER CURIAM:
Jamsheed Ghorbani, a native and citizen of Iran, petitions for review of an order of
the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the immigration
judge’s denial of his asylum application as time-barred. The agency granted Ghorbani’s
request for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3) (2012).
On appeal, Ghorbani challenges the agency’s determination that he failed to
establish extraordinary circumstances to excuse the untimely filing of his asylum
application. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(B), (D) (2012). We lack jurisdiction to review this
determination pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3) (2012), and find that Ghorbani does not
raise a constitutional claim or question of law that would fall under the exception set forth
in 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D) (2012). See Mulyani v. Holder, 771 F.3d 190, 196-97 (4th Cir.
2014); Gomis v. Holder, 571 F.3d 353, 358-59 (4th Cir. 2009). We therefore dismiss the
petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DISMISSED
