U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d
1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that changed or extraordinary
circumstances excused the untimely filing of Sianga’s asylum application. See
8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a)(4), (5); Ramadan v. Gonzales, 479 F.3d 646, 656-58 (9th Cir.
2007) (per curiam). Accordingly, Sianga’s asylum claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
