Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit August 19, 2005, 03-3207 (Mohammad Alyas v. Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States, 1)

HANSEN, Circuit Judge.

Mohammad Alyas, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions this court for review of an order entered by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming the decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) to deny Alyas’s applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. After careful review, we deny Alyas’s petition for review.
