Xiu Fang Zou v. Holder
Xiu Fang Zou v. Holder
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Petitioner Xiu Fang Zou, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, seeks review of the December 28, 2007 order of the BIA denying her motion to reopen and to file a successive asylum application. In re Xiu Fang Zou, No. A077 309 605 (B.I.A. Dec. 28, 2007). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of the case.
We review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515, 517 (2d Cir. 2006). When the BIA considers relevant evidence of country conditions in evaluating a motion to reopen, we review the BIA’s factual findings under the substantial evidence standard. See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 169 (2d Cir. 2008). We find that the BIA did not err in denying Zou’s untimely motion to reopen or in finding her ineligible to file a successive asylum application.
As Zou acknowledges in her letter-brief, her challenges to the BIA’s denial of her motion to file a successive asylum application are foreclosed by Yuen Jin v. Muka-
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. As we have 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 DISMISSED 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(b).
