SESSIONS, III, U.S. Attorney ) BOARD OF IMMIGRATION General, ) APPEALS ) Respondent. ) BEFORE: COLE, Chief Judge; WHITE and BUSH, Circuit Judges. WHITE, Circuit Judge. Petitioner Andriy Mihus, a lawful permanent resident, seeks review of a final order of removal, arguing that the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) erred in finding him removable based on controlled-substances convictions under Ohio law. Mihus further argues that the BIA erred by denying his request for asylum, withholding of removal, and protections under the United Nations Convention Against Torture (CAT). We affirm the BIA’s removability finding; we lack jurisdiction to consider the remainder of Mihus’s claims. I. Background Petitioner Andriy Mihus was born in Lviv, Ukraine, on February 2, 1994, and is a citizen of Ukraine. Mihus arrived in the United States in 2002 as a lawful permanent resident, along No. 17-3891 Mihus v. Sessions with his parents and brother. Mihus’s mother and father live in the United States, but his brother and grandparents are in Ukraine. On March 26, 2013, Mihus was convicted under Ohio state law of attempted possession of heroin. Mihus received a sentence of five days of incarceration with credit for time served. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiated removal proceedings against Mihus but, on September 5, 2013, an Immigration Judge (the IJ) granted cancellation of removal after Mihus promised to no longer use drugs. On June 13, 2016, however, Mihus was convicted of two Ohio drug offenses: possession of Adderall and attempted possession of heroin. A.
