Nicolas Chavez, Chavez Gallagher, Dallas, TX, for Petitioners.

Thomas Ward Hussey, Director, U.S. Department of Justice Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, Anne M. Estrada, U.S. Immigration Naturalization Service, Dallas, TX, Caryl G. Thompson, U.S. Immigration Naturalization Service District Directors Office, New Orleans, LA, for Respondent.

Alberto R. Gonzales, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC, pro se.

Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, BIA Nos. A98 395 654 to A98 395 656.

Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.


Irina Iashvili, David Tkebuchava, and Ia Tkebuchava, are natives and citizens of Georgia. They have petitioned this court for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) order affirming the denial of asylum and with holding of removal. The petitioners fail to show that the record compels reversal of the finding of the IJ that they are not entitled to asylum or with holding of removal. See Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76, 78 (5th Cir. 1994); Mikhael v. INS, 115 F.3d 299, 306 (5th Cir. 1997). Because the petitioners did not apply for relief under the Convention Against Torture, this court lacks jurisdiction over that claim. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1); Wang v. Ashcroft, 260 F.3d 448, 452-453 (5th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, review of the BIA's denial of asylum and with holding of removal is DENIED.
