CARNEY, 10 JOSEPH F. BIANCO, 11 Circuit Judges. 12 _____________________________________ 13 14 JIAN DI YUAN, 15 Petitioner, 16 17 v. 20-2907 18 NAC 19 MERRICK B. GARLAND, UNITED 20 STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 23 24 FOR PETITIONER: Robert J. Adinolfi, Esq., New 25 York, NY. 26 27 FOR RESPONDENT: Brian M. Boynton, Acting Assistant 28 Attorney General; Anthony P. 1 Nicastro, Assistant Director; 2 Sherease Pratt, Senior Litigation 3 Counsel, Office of Immigration 4 Litigation, United States 5 Department of Justice, Washington, 6 DC. 7 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 8 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 9 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review 10 is DENIED. 11 Petitioner Jian Di Yuan, a native and citizen of The 12 People’s Republic of China, seeks review of an August 4, 2020 13 decision of the BIA affirming a June 20, 2018 decision of an 14 Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying his application for asylum, 15 withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention 16 Against Torture (“CAT”).

To establish a due 2 1 process violation, the noncitizen must show that he was 2 denied the opportunity to be heard “in a meaningful 3 manner,” Burger v.
