        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of Board

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

ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petitions for review are DENIED.

        Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the BIA

either affirming the decision of an immigration judge denying a

motion to reopen or denying a motion to reopen in the first

instance.       The applicable standards of review by this Court are

well-established.       See Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138,

168-69 (2d Cir. 2008).

        Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed motions

to reopen based on their claim that they fear persecution because

they have one or more children in violation of China’s coercive

population control program.      For largely the same reasons as this

Court set forth in Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 158-73, we find no

error in the BIA’s decisions.      While the petitioners in Jian Hui

Shao were from Fujian Province, as are most of the petitioners

08012011-1-28                      -4-
here, one of the petitioners2 is from Zhejiang Province.                       As with

the     evidence       discussed    in    Jian    Hui    Shao   related   to    Fujian

Province, her evidence related to Zhejiang Province was deficient

in      some      instances     because      it     does    not    discuss      forced

sterilizations and in the remainder because it references isolated

incidents of persecution of individuals who are not similarly

situated to the petitioner.               See id. at 160-61, 170-71. The BIA

did not err in declining to credit some of the petitioners’3

unauthenticated          evidence    in     light   of     an   underlying     adverse

credibility determination.                See Qin Wen Zheng v. Gonzales, 500

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

        Two of the petitioners4 argue that the agency applied an

incorrect burden of proof by requiring them to establish a

certainty of persecution.                To the contrary, in those cases, the

agency either reasonably relied on their failure to demonstrate

changed country conditions or explicitly applied the appropriate

prima facie standard.            See Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 168.

        Four     of   the   petitioners5   argue   that   the   BIA   erred   in

discounting notices they submitted, purportedly issued by family

planning officials, solely because they were unauthenticated.

While the agency may err in rejecting a document solely based on

the alien’s failure to properly authenticate the document pursuant

to 8 C.F.R. § 287.6, see Cao He Lin v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 428

F.3d 391, 403 (2d Cir. 2005), the notices were not material to

petitioners’ claims because they merely referenced the family

planning policy’s mandatory sterilization requirement without

indicating that such sterilizations are performed by force, see

Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 165, 172.

        In Feng Mei Lin v. Holder, No. 10-29-ag, we decline to either

consider the extra-record evidence petitioner submitted or remand

for the agency to do so.          See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(A); see also

Xiao Xing Ni v. Gonzales, 494 F.3d 260, 269-70 (2d Cir. 2007).

Because the agency did not err in finding that the petitioners in

JinSai Gao v. Holder, No. 09-4028-ag, Neng Quan Wang v. Holder,

No. 10-57-ag, and Yi Luan Lin v. Holder, No. 10-1501-ag, failed

to demonstrate their prima facie eligibility for relief, and

because that finding was dispositive of their motions to reopen,

we need not consider the additional arguments raised in their

briefs.         See Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 168.

        5
      The petitioners in Shu Gui Chen v. Holder, No. 10-968-ag; Ye Lin v.
Holder, No. 10-1322-ag; Hui Yong Zhou v. Holder, No. 10-1407-ag, and Heng-Lun
Chen v. Holder, No. 10-2633-ag.
08012011-1-28                          -6-
        We are without jurisdiction to consider two of the petitions6

to the extent they challenge the agency’s underlying denial of the

petitioners’ applications for asylum and related relief because

petitioners did not timely petition for review of those decisions.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1); see also Ke Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dep’t of

Justice, 265 F.3d 83, 90 (2d Cir. 2001).

        For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review are

DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal that

the Court previously granted in these petitions is VACATED, and

any pending motion for a stay of removal in these petitions is

DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in these

petitions is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).

                                 FOR THE COURT:
