SESSIONS III, UNITED 19 STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, 20 Respondent. 21 _____________________________________ 22 23 FOR PETITIONER: Jay Ho Lee, New York, NY. 24 25 FOR RESPONDENT: Chad A. Readler, Acting Assistant 26 Attorney General; M. Jocelyn Lopez 27 Wright, Senior Litigation 28 Counsel; Lori B. Warlick, Trial 29 Attorney, Office of Immigration 30 Litigation, United States 31 Department of Justice, 32 Washington, DC. 1 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 2 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby 3 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is 4 DENIED. 5 Petitioner Mingshun Jin, a native and citizen of the 6 People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a June 14, 2016, 7 decision of the BIA affirming a February 23, 2010, decision of 8 an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying Jin’s application for 9 asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention 10 Against Torture (“CAT”). In re Mingshun Jin, No. A093 458 799 11 (B.I.A. June 14, 2016), aff’g No. A093 458 799 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. 12 City Feb. 23, 2010). We assume the parties’ familiarity with 13 the underlying facts and procedural history in this case. 14 Under the circumstances of this case, we have reviewed the 15 IJ’s decision as supplemented and modified by the BIA and thus 16 review the BIA’s denial of Jin’s motion to remand, but not the 17 IJ’s discretionary denial of asylum, which the BIA did not 18 reach. See Yan Chen v. Gonzales, 417 F.3d 268, 271 (2d Cir. 19 2005); Xue Hong Yang v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 426 F.3d 520, 20 522 (2d Cir. 2005). The applicable standards of review are well 21 established. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); Xiu Xia Lin v. 2 1 Mukasey, 534 F.3d 162, 165-66 (2d Cir. 2008); Li Yong Cao v. 2 U.S. Dep’t ...
