PER CURIAM:
Kumar Harsh petitions for review of a final order of the Board
of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his application for asylum
and withholding of deportation. We have reviewed the administra-
tive record and the Board’s August 8, 2000, decision and conclude
that Harsh’s appeal to this court, filed September 8, 2000, was
filed one day late under the applicable transitional rules of the
Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996
(IIRIRA), Pub. L. No. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009. See IIRIRA §
309(c)(4)(C); 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(b)(1) (West 1999) (stating that pe-
titions for review must be filed no later than thirty days after
the date of the final order of removal).
We are therefore compelled to dismiss this appeal for lack of
jurisdiction. 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.
DISMISSED
