PRESENT: JON O. NEWMAN, DENNIS JACOBS, PIERRE N. LEVAL, Circuit Judges. _____________________________________ A. LE WU, SHENG JIAN YE, Petitioners, 10-2619(L), v. 11-176(Con) NAC JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. _____________________________________ FOR PETITIONERS: Richard Tarzia, Belle Mead, New Jersey. FOR RESPONDENT: Tony West, Assistant Attorney General; Emily Anne Radford, Assistant Director; James A. Hunolt, Senior Litigation Counsel, Office of 06152016-10 Immigration Litigation, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of two Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decisions, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petitions for review are DENIED. Petitioners A. Le Wu and Sheng Jian Ye, natives and citizens of China, seek review of (1) a June 16, 2010, decision of the BIA that reversed the decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) granting asylum, In re A. Le Wu, Sheng Jian Ye, Nos. A093 394 028/029 (B.I.A. June 16, 2010), rev’g Nos. A093 394 028/029 (Immig. Ct. N.Y.

Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 157-58, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008); see also Wu Lin v. Lynch, 813 F.3d 122, 129 (2d Cir. 2016). Petitioners applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, and Wu later moved to reopen removal proceedings, asserting a fear of persecution based on the birth of their children in the United 2 10242016-10 States purportedly in violation of China’s population control program. For largely the same reasons as this Court set forth in Jian Hui Shao, we find no error in the BIA’s determination on de novo review that Petitioners failed to satisfy their burden of establishing an objectively reasonable well founded fear of persecution. See 546 F.3d at 156-73. The letters from Petitioners’ relative and friend, claiming to ...
