Description

Kossi Thomas Soadjede challenges a final order of removal issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) on April 2, 2002. Soadjede applied for political asylum under Â§ 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), withholding of removal under Â§ 241(b) of the INA, withholding of removal under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), and in the alternative, voluntary departure. On November 17, 2000, an immigration judge denied Soadjedes applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection pursuant to the CAT. The immigration judge found Soadjede statutorily ineligible for asylum because he failed to file his asylum application within one year after his arrival in the United States. With respect to Soadjedes applications for withholding of removal and CAT protection, the immigration judge found that Soadjede failed to meet his burden of proof. The immigration judge granted Soadjedes request for voluntary departure from the United States. The BIA summarily affirmed the immigration judges decision pursuant to 8 C.F.R. Â§ 3.1(a)(7).
