Baron, Baron, Mundie & 2 Shelkin, P.C., New York, New York. 3 4 FOR RESPONDENT: Gregory G. Katsas, Acting Assistant 5 Attorney General; Mary Jane Candaux, 6 Assistant Director; Briena L. 7 Strippoli, Trial Attorney, Office of 8 Immigration Litigation, United 9 States Department of Justice, 10 Washington, D.C. 11 12 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 13 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 14 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petition for review 15 is DENIED. 16 Mei Feng Li, a native and citizen of China, seeks 17 review of a November 8, 2007, BIA order denying her motion 18 to reopen. In re Mei Feng Li, No. A078 840 467 (B.I.A. Nov. 19 8, 2007). Li’s motion to reopen was based on her claim that 20 she fears persecution on account of the birth of her U.S. 21 citizen children in violation of China’s family planning 22 policy. For largely the same reasons this Court set forth 23 in Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 169 (2d Cir. 24 2008), we find no error in the BIA’s decision denying her 25 motion to reopen. See id. at 168-72. Moreover, the BIA 26 reasonably declined to address some of Li’s evidence because 27 she failed to establish that it was unavailable at the time 28 of her merits hearing. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1); see 29 also INS v. Abudu, 485 U.S. 94, 104-05 (1988). 08232010-26 2 1 For the foregoing reasons, this petition for review is 2 DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of 3 removal that the Court previously granted in this petition 4 is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in 5 this petition is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for 6 oral argument in this petition is DENIED in accordance with 7 Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second 8 Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b). 9 FOR THE COURT: 10 Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk 11 12 08232010-26 3
