____________________________________

        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

several 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

affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying a

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

instance based on either the movant’s failure to demonstrate

changed country conditions sufficient to avoid the applicable

time       and   numerical    limits      or   the   movant’s   failure    to

demonstrate prima facie eligibility for the underlying relief

sought.          See   8   C.F.R.   §§    1003.2(c),    1003.23(b).       The

applicable standards of review are well-established. See Jian

Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008).


12132010-1-34                            -5-
        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 here, five of

the petitioners2 are from Zhejiang Province.                         As with the

evidence discussed in Jian Hui Shao, which concerned Fujian

Province,            the   evidence      proffered      by   these      petitioners

concerning Zhejiang Province either does not discuss forced

sterilizations or involves isolated incidents of persecution

of     individuals         who    are    not     similarly      situated    to    the

petitioners.           See Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 160-61, 170-71.

        Some of the petitioners3 argue that the agency applied an

incorrect burden of proof by requiring them to establish more

than their prima facie eligibility for relief.           However, in

those cases, the agency either reasonably relied on their

failure to demonstrate changed country conditions excusing the

untimely filing of their motions, or concluded that they

failed to establish their prima facie eligibility for relief.

See 8 C.F.R. §§ 1003.2(c), 1003.23(b); see also INS v. Abudu,

485 U.S. 94, 104 (1988).

        Some of the petitioners4 argue that the agency failed to

give sufficient consideration to the statement of Jin Fu Chen,

who alleged that he suffered forcible sterilization after his

return to China based on the births of his two children in

Japan. A prior panel of this Court remanded a petition making

a similar claim so that Jin Fu Chen’s statement (which was

submitted to the BIA after a remand) could be considered by

the IJ.         See Zheng v. Holder, No. 07-3970-ag (2d Cir. Jan. 15,

2010).          Since that remand, the BIA has repeatedly concluded

that Jin Fu Chen’s statement does not support a claim of

changed country conditions or a reasonable possibility of

persecution.         Accordingly, we find no abuse of discretion in

ag.

12132010-1-34                       -7-
the BIA’s summary consideration of that statement in these

cases.          See Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 169 (recognizing that

the     Court      has   rejected   the   notion   that   the   agency   must

“expressly parse or refute on the record each individual

argument or piece of evidence offered by the petitioner”); see

also Wei Guang Wang v. BIA, 437 F.3d 270, 275 (2d Cir. 2006)

(providing that the agency may summarily consider evidence

that is “oft-cited” and that it “is asked to consider time and

again”).           We cannot say, furthermore, that the agency’s

conclusions concerning the probative force of the statement

involved any error of law.

        Eight of the petitioners5 argue that the BIA erred by

relying on the U.S. Department of State’s 2007 Profile of

Asylum Claims and Country Conditions in China (“2007 Profile”)

because statements in that document are based on mistranslated

and contradictory evidence.               However, we have repeatedly

concluded, as the BIA did here, that the purportedly corrected

translations do not materially alter the meaning of the 2007

Profile by demonstrating a risk of forced sterilization.                   To

the extent that the BIA declined to credit some of the

petitioners’6         unauthenticated,      individualized   evidence   in

light of an underlying adverse credibility determination, the

BIA did not abuse its discretion.                 See Qin Wen Zheng v.

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

        Finally, one of the petitioners7 argues that the BIA

violated her right to due process and equal protection of the

law by refusing to reopen her proceedings to file a successive

application for withholding of removal and CAT relief.                  The

petitioner’s equal protection argument is foreclosed by Yuen

Jin v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 143, 158-59 (2d Cir. 2008).              We find

no merit to petitioner’s due process argument.                 Assuming,

arguendo,         that   petitioner   has    a   protected   interest   in

withholding of removal and CAT relief, we conclude that she

received constitutionally sufficient process when the agency

adjudicated her initial application for relief and provided

her the opportunity to submit evidence in support of two

motions to reopen.         See id. at 157.

        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).
