Yun Jie Lin v. Gonzales
Yun Jie Lin v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review from a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is DENIED.
Yun Jie Lin petitions for review of the April 2004 decision of the BIA summarily affirming an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ’s”) final order of removal. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the facts and procedural history of this case.
Where, as here, the BIA summarily affirms the IJ, we review the IJ’s decision as the final agency determination. See, e.g., Twum v. INS, 411 F.3d 54, 58 (2d Cir. 2005). The IJ pretermitted Lin’s asylum application because it was not filed within one year of his arrival in the United States. Although Lin argues that he should have been granted asylum, he does not challenge the one-year bar determination in his brief to this Court; he therefore waives any such challenge. See Yueqing Zhang v. Gonzales, 426 F.3d 540, 542 n. 1, 546 n. 7 (2d Cir. 2005). Lin has not briefed the issue of CAT relief in his petition for review; therefore, Lin waived this issue on
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. Having completed our review, any stay of removal that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DENIED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in this petition is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule 34(d)(1).
