29           UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

30   Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decisions, it is hereby

31   ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petitions for

32   review are DENIED.

33           Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the

34   BIA denying a motion to reopen.     The applicable standards of

35   review are well-established.     See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey,

36   546 F.3d 138, 157-58, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008).


     02272012-1-10                   2
 1           Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

 2   motions to reopen based on their claims that they fear

 3   persecution because they have had one or more children in

 4   violation of China’s population control program.     For

 5   largely the same reasons as this Court set forth in Jian Hui

 6   Shao, 546 F.3d 138, we find no error in the BIA’s decisions.

 7   See id. at 158-72.     Moreover, the BIA did not err in

 8   declining to credit the petitioners’ unauthenticated

 9   evidence in light of the agency’s underlying adverse

10   credibility determinations.     See Qin Wen Zheng v. Gonzales,

11   500 F.3d 143, 146-47 (2d Cir. 2007).

12           In Maoli Dong v. Holder, No. 10-2072-ag, (3) we are

13   without jurisdiction to consider the petitioner’s argument

14   that the BIA should have reopened his proceedings as a

15   matter of discretion.     See Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515,

16   518 (2d Cir. 2006).     In Li Bin Zhao v. Holder, No. 10-2364-

17   ag, (4) there is no merit to the petitioner’s argument that

18   motions to reopen seeking relief under the Convention

19   Against Torture (“CAT”) are excused from the applicable time

20   and numerical limitations.     See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)

21   (providing the time and numerical limitations applicable to

22   motions to reopen); cf. 8 C.F.R. § 1208.18(b)(2) (excusing


     02272012-1-10                   3
 1   the time and numerical limitations for filing a motion to

 2   reopen to seek CAT relief only for aliens whose removal

 3   orders became final prior to March 22, 1999 and who moved to

 4   reopen proceedings before June 21, 1999)).

 5           For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review

 6   are DENIED.     As we have completed our review, any stay of

 7   removal that the Court previously granted in these petitions

 8   is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in

 9   these petitions is DISMISSED as moot.     Any pending request

10   for oral argument in these petitions is DENIED in accordance

11   with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and

12   Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).

13                                  FOR THE COURT:
14                                  Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
