Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Sharif Kesbah, a Palestinian native and Jordanian citizen,
has petitioned this court to review a determination by the Board
of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that Kesbah, his wife, and their six
children should be deported. We DENY Kesbah’s petition because
the record shows that the BIA’s determination is supported by
substantial evidence. Carbajal-Gonzalez v. INS, 78 F.3d 194, 197
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 97-60410
-2-
(5th Cir. 1996). The conditions testified to do not constitute
persecution. See Youssefinia v. INS, 784 F.2d 1254, 1262 (5th
Cir. 1986). The court lacks jurisdiction to consider Kesbah’s
claim for relief based on customary international law. See
Bradvica v. INS, 128 F.3d 1009, 1014 & n.5 (7th Cir. 1997).
This court lacks the authority to grant Kesbah’s request
that it reinstate the six-month period for voluntary departure
authorized by the immigration judge. See Farzad v. INS, 808 F.2d
1071, 1072 (5th Cir. 1987); Faddoul v. INS, 37 F.3d 185, 191-93
(5th Cir. 1994).
PETITION DENIED.
