40           UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

41   Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decisions, it is hereby


     04302012-11-22                  2
 1   ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petitions for review

 2   are DENIED.

 3           Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the

 4   BIA denying a motion to reopen.           The applicable standards of

 5   review are well-established.            See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey,

 6   
546 F.3d 138
, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008).

 7           Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

 8   motions to reopen based on their claims that they fear

 9   persecution because they have had one or more children in

10   the United States in violation of China’s population control

11   program.         All of the petitioners argued that changed country

12   conditions regarding the enforcement of China’s population

13   control population should excuse the untimely filing of

14   their motions.         See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C); 8 C.F.R.

15   § 1003.2(c).

16           For largely the same reasons as this Court set forth in

17   Jian Hui Shao, 
546 F.3d 138
, we find no error in the BIA’s

18   decisions.         See 
id. at 158-72. Moreover,
the BIA did not

19   err in declining to credit the petitioners’ individualized

20   and unauthenticated evidence in light of the agency’s

21   underlying adverse credibility determinations.            See Qin Wen

22   Zheng v. Gonzales, 
500 F.3d 143
, 146-47 (2d Cir. 2007).



     04302012-11-22                      3
 1           In Miao Chen v. Holder, No. 11-58-ag, the BIA did not

 2   err in finding that petitioner failed to demonstrate

 3   material changed country conditions regarding the treatment

 4   of Christians in China sufficient to excuse the untimely

 5   filing of his motion.      See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii).

 6   In Min Tong Zheng v. Holder, No. 11-2251-ag, the BIA did not

 7   err in finding that petitioner’s medical condition did not

 8   constitute a valid exception to the time limitation

 9   applicable to his motion to reopen.      See 8 U.S.C.

10   § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3).

11           For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review

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

13   removal that the Court previously granted in these petitions

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

15   these petitions is DISMISSED as moot.      Any pending request

16   for oral argument in these petitions is DENIED in accordance

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

18   Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).

19                                  FOR THE COURT:
20                                  Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
