27           UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

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

29   ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petitions for review

30   are DENIED.

31           Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the

32   BIA either denying a motion to reopen or affirming an

33   Immigration Judge’s denial of a motion to reopen.     The

34   applicable standards of review are well-established.        See

35   Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 157-58, 168-69 (2d

36   Cir. 2008).
     02272012-21-30                  2
 1           Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

 2   motions to reopen based on claims that they fear persecution

 3   because they have had one or more children in violation of

 4   China’s population control program.     For largely the same

 5   reasons as this Court set forth in Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d

 6   138, we find no error in the BIA’s decisions.     See id. at

 7   158-72.

 8           In Tian Yao Dong v. Holder, No. 10-4129-ag and in Zhen

 9   Yin Guo v. Holder, No. 11-2280-ag, the BIA did not abuse its

10   discretion in declining to credit the petitioners’

11   unauthenticated evidence regarding the family planning

12   policy in light of the agency’s underlying adverse

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

14   500 F.3d 143, 146-47 (2d Cir. 2007).

15           Petitioners’ motions to reopen were also based on their

16   claims that they fear persecution in China on account of

17   their religious practices.     The BIA did not err in finding

18   that petitioners failed to demonstrate either material

19   changed country conditions or their prima facie eligibility

20   for relief on this basis.     See 8 U.S.C.

21   § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii); see also Hongsheng Leng v. Mukasey,

22   528 F.3d 135, 143 (2d Cir. 2008); INS v. Abudu, 485 U.S. 94,

23   104-05 (1988).
     02272012-21-30                  3
1            For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review

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

3    removal that the Court previously granted in these petitions

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

5    these petitions is DISMISSED as moot.      Any pending request

6    for oral argument in these petitions is DENIED in accordance

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

8    Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).

 9                                  FOR THE COURT:
