UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT

Nos. 04-3709, 04-4647

RAFIQ AMJAD and ASTER AMJAD, Petitioners v.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, Respondent

Petition for Review of the Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (A95 467 602, A95 467 603)

Argued October 24, 2005

Before: SLOVITER, FISHER, Circuit Judges, and THOMPSON, District Judge *

ORDER AMENDING NOT PRECEDENTIAL OPINION

Upon consideration of the petition for panel rehearing, the Court has

decided to amend the not precedential opinion filed November 29, 2005 in the following

respect:

* Hon. Anne E. Thompson, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey, sitting by designation. Page 9, line 11 - delete the sentence beginning “Rather than decide this case

on the Amjads’ knowledge . . .” and substitute “After careful consideration of the record,

we cannot conclude that the IJ’s adverse credibility determination lacks substantial

evidence support. Moreover, we note that there is a striking deficiency in petitioners’

case – the lack of evidence that the Pakistani government was responsible for the

incidents on which they base their claim of persecution.” Continue with the sentence

“We repeat that portion . . . .”

By the Court,

/s/ Dolores K. Sloviter Circuit Judge

Dated: February 14, 2006
