-------------------- Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals BIA No. A98 395 654 BIA No. A98 395 655 BIA No. A98 395 656 --------------------

Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

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 withholding 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

withholding 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

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 06-60409 -2-

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 withholding of removal is DENIED.
