Before BOWMAN, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, AND HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Petitioners, natives and citizens of Ukraine, seek reversal of a decision of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (Board). An Immigration Judge (IJ) found petitioners
removable for remaining in the United States longer than permitted and denied the
requested relief of asylum and withholding of removal; the Board dismissed their
appeal. This petition for review followed.
       Having carefully considered the briefs and record, we affirm the denial of
petitioners' claims. The IJ's decision is supported by substantial evidence, and the
Board's dismissal of petitioners' appeal therefore must be sustained.

       Alla Bogdan also asserts a claim for relief under the United Nations
Convention Against Torture. Because this claim does not appear to have been raised
in the administrative proceedings, and was not considered by either the IJ or the
Board, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider it.

      Affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

            Attest:

                CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
