Chhay v. Mukasey, No. 07-2202 denies the petition for review of an late-filed asylum petition of a Cambodian national. Most of this comes down to credibility calls. What is interesting is that the Selya tenders an extremely ironic admonishing of IJs:

I sure hope that I am not the only one that sees the irony of this.
The line before is just as good:
