Readler, Acting Assistant 27 Attorney General; Papu Sandhu, 28 Assistant Director; Victor M. 29 Lawrence, Senior Litigation 30 Counsel, Office of Immigration 31 Litigation, United States 32 Department of Justice, Washington, 33 DC. 1 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 2 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 3 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 4 is DENIED. 5 Petitioner Nikolin Piroli, a native and citizen of 6 Albania, seeks review of an October 11, 2016, decision of the 7 BIA affirming a May 14, 2015, decision of an Immigration Judge 8 (“IJ”) denying Piroli’s application for asylum, withholding 9 of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture 10 (“CAT”).
