Petition for review of an order denying application for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture, and rejecting a request for voluntary departure, is denied in part and dismissed in part where: 1) petitioner is not entitled to withholding of removal as substantial evidence supports a determination that petitioner faced neither past persecution nor a likelihood of future persecution, and did not show a well-founded fear of future persecution; 2) petitioner is not entitled to protection under the Convention Against Torture as he presented no evidence regarding the likelihood of his being tortured upon his return to his home country; and 3) the present court has no jurisdiction to review denials of voluntary departure.
