25           UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

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

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

28   are DENIED.

29           Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the

30   BIA that: (1) affirmed a decision of an Immigration Judge

31   (“IJ”) denying a motion to reopen; (2) denied a motion to

32   reopen in the first instance; or (3) denied a motion to

33   reconsider the denial of a motion to reopen.     The applicable

34   standards of review are well established.     See Jian Hui Shao

35   v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008); see also Ke

     11252013-1-10                   2
 1   Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 265 F.3d 83, 90-91 (2d

 2   Cir. 2001); Jin Ming Liu v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 109, 111 (2d

 3   Cir. 2006).

 4           Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

 5   motions to reopen based on claims that they fear persecution

 6   because they have had one or more U.S. citizen children in

 7   violation of China’s population control program.         For

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

 9   Shao, 546 F.3d 138, we find no error in the agency’s

10   determinations that the petitioners failed to demonstrate

11   either materially changed country conditions that would

12   excuse the untimely or number-barred filing of their motions

13   or their prima facie eligibility for relief.         See id. at

14   158-72.         While the petitioners in Jian Hui Shao were from

15   Fujian Province, in Jie Lin Chen v. Holder, 11-2285 (3) and

16   Lin Fei Xie v. Holder, 12-4675 (8), petitioners are from

17   Zhejiang Province.        However, as with the evidence discussed

18   in Jian Hui Shao, the evidence relating to Zhejiang Province

19   is insufficient because it does not discuss the use of force

20   in the enforcement of the family planning policy.         See id.

21   at 160-61, 171-72.

 1           In Xiu Yan Lin v. Holder, 11-1993 (2), Tian Jin Zou v.

 2   Holder, 12-177 (4), Jian Ling Chen v. Holder, 12-1826 (5),

 3   Lin Fei Xie v. Holder, 12-4675 (8), and Xiao Yan Wu v.

 4   Holder, 13-1793 (10), we find no error in the agency’s

 5   conclusions that petitioners failed to demonstrate

 6   materially changed country conditions with regard to China’s

 7   treatment of unregistered religious groups or Falun Gong

 8   practitioners.     See Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d at 169-72; see

 9   also Matter of S-Y-G-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 247, 253 (BIA 2008).

10   In Yan Qin Chen v. Holder, 13-357 (9), the BIA did not err

11   in declining to credit the petitioner’s unauthenticated or

12   unsworn individualized evidence in light of the agency’s

13   underlying adverse credibility determination.     See Qin Wen

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

15           Finally, in Jie Lin Chen v. Holder, 11-2285 (3), we

16   find no error in the agency’s conclusion that petitioner’s

17   motion to rescind the IJ’s in absentia deportation order was

18   untimely, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C)(i); see also

19   8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(iii), and that she failed to

20   demonstrate due diligence in pursuing rescission based on

21   her ineffective assistance of counsel claim, see Rashid v.

22   Mukasey, 533 F.3d 127, 131 (2d Cir. 2008); see also Jian Hua

23   Wang v. BIA, 508 F.3d 710, 715 (2d Cir. 2007).

     11252013-1-10                   4
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:
