SESSIONS III, 19 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, 20 Respondent. 21 _____________________________________ 22 23 FOR PETITIONER: Jay Ho Lee, New York, NY. 24 25 FOR RESPONDENT: Chad A. Readler, Acting Assistant 26 Attorney General; Leslie McKay, 27 Senior Litigation Counsel; 28 Virginia L. Gordon, Trial 29 Attorney, Office of Immigration 30 Litigation, United States 31 Department of Justice, Washington, 32 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 Shi Wu Lin, a native and citizen of the 6 People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a December 5, 7 2016, decision of the BIA denying his motion to reopen as 8 untimely and number barred. In re Shi Wu Lin, No. A070 902 9 764 (B.I.A. Dec. 5, 2016). We assume the parties’ 10 familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural 11 history in this case. 12 The applicable standards of review are well established. 13 See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69 (2d Cir. 14 2008). It is undisputed that Shi Wu Lin’s 2016 motion to 15 reopen was untimely and number barred because it was filed 16 nearly nineteen years after his removal order became final 17 and was his third motion to reopen. See 8 U.S.C. 18 § 1229a(c)(7)(A), (C)(i); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). These 19 limitations are excused if reopening is sought to apply for 20 asylum “based on changed country conditions arising in the 21 country of nationality or the country to which removal has 22 been ordered, if such evidence is material and was not 23 available and would not have been discovered or presented 2 1 at the previous proceeding.” 8 U.S.C. 2 § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii). 3 ...
