United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 13-1475 ___________________________ Lucindo A. Mazariegos-Herrera; Daisy Mabel Mazariegos; Jason J.A. Mazariegos-Garcia; Benjamin Leiva Masariegos lllllllllllllllllllllPetitioners v. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General of United States lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent ____________ Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ____________ Submitted: November 20, 2013 Filed: December 5, 2013 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Lucindo Mazariegos-Herrera, his wife Daisy Mazariegos, his son Jason Mazariegos-Garcia, and his uncle Benjamin Leiva Masariegos, citizens of Guatemala, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming an immigration judge s denial of their renewed and consolidated applications for asylum and withholding of removal. We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA s determination that the asylum application of Mazariegos-Herrera and his derivative beneficiaries was barred as untimely filed. See 8 U.S.C. ยง 1158(a)(3); Ngure v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 975, 988 89 (8th Cir. 2004). After careful review, we conclude that the BIA s denial of asylum as to Leiva Masariegos and its denial of withholding of removal as to all petitioners was supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole. See Cubillos v. Holder, 565 F.3d 1054, 1056 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review for denial of asylum); Menjivar v. Gonzales, 416 F.3d 918, 920 22 (8th Cir. 2005) (standard of review for denial of withholding of removal; discussing unwilling or unable to control standard for non-governmental persecution). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ -2-
