Overview: A Chinese citizen was properly denied asylum and withholding of removal under the INA, 8 U.S.C.S. §§ 1158, 1231, because he failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on political opinion stemming from his father's selling of politically subversive books; an appeals court deferred to the IJ's adverse credibility determination.

P. 12(b)(6) dismissal of a former employee's Title VII, ADA, and ADEA claims was affirmed since the employee had failed to satisfy the 90-day statutory limitations periods; the employee's argument that she timely renewed her second complaint pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 9-2-61 was without merit.

Overview: District court's judgment denying state prisoner's 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 petition was vacated and remanded as the district court erred when it failed to consider the prisoner's claim that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with the handling of his motion for a bill of particulars, and the prisoner adequately raised the issue.
