LYNCH, Chief Judge.

On September 2, 2011, an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denied Antonio D. Moura’s application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). The Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) dismissed Moura’s appeal from the IJ’s decision on July 22, 2013.
