View this case - free

Dolma v. Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Servs., No. 03-4681-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, February 16, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: IJ did not err in denying alien's applications for withholding of removal and CAT relief where substantial evidence, under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252(b)(4)(B), supported IJ's finding that the evidence fell far short of demonstrating that alien had a well-founded fear of persecution or that it was more likely than not she would have been tortured in Nepal.

Hot v. INS, No. 02-4640-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, February 16, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: IJ declined to make adverse credibility finding, but instead correctly found alien failed to establish past persecution and well-founded fear of future persecution. Substantial evidence supported IJ's finding that conditions in Montenegro had changed significantly enough so alien's alleged fear of persecution upon his return was not well-founded.

View this case - free  

Overview: A petition for review of the denial of asylum was denied because a determination that an alien was not persecuted in China on account of religion was based on substantial evidence where the alien offered no evidence that he suffered any threats to life or freedom or was subject to any violence based on the fact that he was Christian.

View this case - free  

Overview: Alien's petition for review of decision denying his application for withholding of removal, 8 U.S.C.S. § 1231(b)(3), was denied where IJ based her adverse credibility determination in large measure on inconsistencies central to alien's withholding claim, and court could not have said that there was insufficient support in record for IJ's finding.

View this case - free  

Overview: BIA's denial of asylum and withholding of removal was not supported by substantial evidence because the application sufficiently detailed the nature of the persecution, the alien's testimony demonstrated his command of the "Falun Gong" practice, and the implausibility determinations were improperly based on speculation.
