_____________________________

        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

several Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) orders, it is

hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petitions for

review are DENIED.

        Each of these petitions challenges a decision of an

immigration judge (“IJ”) or the BIA denying a motion to reopen

based on either the movant’s failure to demonstrate changed

country conditions sufficient to avoid the applicable time and


05242010-1-20                  -3-
numerical limits or the movant’s failure to demonstrate prima

facie eligibility for the underlying relief sought.                        See 8

C.F.R. §§ 1003.2(c), 1003.23(b).               We review the denial of a

motion to reopen for abuse of discretion.                   Ali v. Gonzales,

448 F.3d 515
, 517 (2d Cir. 2006).

        Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

motions         to   reopen    based   on   their   claim   that    they    fear

persecution          because    they   have   one   or   more   children      in

violation of China’s population control program.                   For largely

the same reasons as this Court set forth in Jian Hui Shao v.

Mukasey, 
546 F.3d 138
, 168-72 (2d Cir. 2008), we find no error

in the BIA’s decisions.

        Some of the petitioners2 argue that they were eligible to

file a successive asylum application based solely on their

changed personal circumstances.               That argument is foreclosed

by our decision in Yuen Jin v. Mukasey, 
538 F.3d 143
, 156,

158-59 (2d Cir. 2008). Other petitioners3 challenge the BIA’s

refusal to credit their unauthenticated evidence in light of



        2
      The petitioners in Qiu Xia Li v. Holder, No. 07-4083-ag; Shi
Yong Lin, Qing Lin v. Holder, No. 07-5410-ag; Xia Juan Sun v.
Holder, No. 08-0901-ag; and Zhihua Ou v. Holder, No. 08-1754-ag.
        3
      The petitioners in Ai Yue Yang v. Holder, No. 07-4385-ag;
Ling Zhi Li v. Holder, No. 08-2012-ag; Xia Chen v. Holder, No. 08-
6156-ag; and Hai Ou Sun v. Holder, No. 09-3564-ag.

05242010-1-20                           -4-
an      immigration          judge’s     underlying       adverse     credibility

determination.              Again, applicable precedent is fatal to that

argument. See Qin Wen Zheng v. Gonzales, 
500 F.3d 143
, 146-47

(2d Cir. 2007) (relying on the doctrine falsus in uno, falsus

in omnibus to conclude that the agency may decline to credit
documentary evidence submitted with a motion to reopen by an
alien           who   was    found     not    credible     in   the   underlying

proceeding).
        For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review are

DENIED.          As we have completed our review, any stay of removal

that the Court previously granted in these petitions is

VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in these

petitions is DISMISSED as moot.                    Any pending request for oral

argument in these petitions is DENIED in accordance with

Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second

Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).

                                         FOR THE COURT:
                                         Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
