Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) and rejecting his untimely brief. Our
jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence
the agency’s factual findings, Santos-Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 742 (9th
Cir. 2008), and de novo claims of due process violations in immigration
proceedings, Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1012 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny in
part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Prince’s CAT claim
because he failed to establish a likelihood of torture by, at the instigation of, or
with consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Jamaica. See
Arteaga v. Mukasey, 511 F.3d 940, 948-49 (9th Cir. 2007).
We reject Prince’s contention that the BIA violated his due process rights by
failing to accept his untimely brief because the BIA gave Prince prior notice of the
briefing schedule, and his failure to file a timely brief was not due to the actions of
the BIA. See Zetino, 622 F.3d at 1013-14.
Finally, we lack jurisdiction to consider Prince’s ineffective assistance of
counsel claim because he failed to properly exhaust it before the agency. See
Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
