UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, March 12, 2007, Filed
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: A beneficiary failed to provide sufficient evidence of bias--or any procedural irregularity--to justify prehearing discovery as he supported his claim with conjecture. A mere allegation of bias was insufficient to throw open the doors of discovery in an action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C.S. § 1001 et seq.

Overview: Denial of asylum was proper because the culture of blood feud in Albania was wholly independent of political activity and the alien failed to allege that the family that sought revenge for the murder of a family member by the alien's father acted in an official capacity, or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official.

|||||

|||||

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, March 12, 2007, Filed

|||||
Overview: Denial of asylum was proper because even if the alien could show that she was a member of a particular social group that could receive protection, she did not establish by her testimony that she could suffer future persecution by her family--in particular, her uncle, or the government if she was returned to Morocco.
