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).
