Kouyoumedjian v. Immigration & Naturalization Service
Kouyoumedjian v. Immigration & Naturalization Service
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
The BIA did not err in also denying Petitioners’ motion to reopen under the Convention Against Torture. The record is unclear as to the exact date that Petitioners’ motion was filed, but it appears to have been untimely. In any event, the motion is without merit, for Petitioners have produced no evidence that they would be tortured if they were deported to any of the countries being considered in this case.
In an expression of compassion, the INS has heretofore stayed Petitioners’ deportation because of Miher Kouyoumedjian’s medical treatment. Should the INS at some point cease to stay deportation, Petitioners’ period for voluntary departure will likewise cease to be stayed. Petitioners will then need to effectuate voluntary departure or face potential deportation.
Accordingly, the BIA is DENIED.
