Petitioner Michaelle Lapaix seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’s (“BIA”) decision affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) order denying her applications for asylum and withholding of removal. Lapaix also seeks review of the BIA’s decision that she waived her claims for relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (“CAT”).
