HOLDER, 09-3564-ag A071 496 801 _____________________________ 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).
