Lesnau, Trial 6 Attorney, Office of Immigration 7 Litigation, United States 8 Department of Justice, Washington, 9 DC. 10 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 11 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 12 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 13 is DENIED. 14 Petitioner Li-Zhen Ou Yang, a native and citizen of the 15 People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a September 11, 16 2020 decision of the BIA affirming a May 21, 2018 decision of 17 an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying her application for 18 asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the 19 Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). In re Ou Yang Li-Zhen, 20 No. A 087 455 715 (B.I.A. Sept. 11, 2020), aff’g No. A 087 455 21 715 (Immigr. Ct. N.Y.C. May 21, 2018). We assume the parties’ 22 familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history. 23 In lieu of filing a brief, the Government moves for 24 summary denial of Ou Yang’s petition for review. Summary 25 denial is “a rare exception to the completion of the appeal 26 process” and is available only if an appeal is “truly 2 1 ‘frivolous.’” United States v. Davis, 598 F.3d 10, 13 (2d 2 Cir. 2010)(citation omitted). A claim is frivolous if it is 3 based on an “inarguable legal conclusion” or “fanciful 4 factual allegation.” Pillay v. INS, 45 F.3d 14, 16 (2d Cir. 5 1995); see also Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 329 (1989) …
