United States First Circuit

Petition for review challenging denial of applications for asylum and withholding of removal is denied where: 1) for one petitioner, her asylum claim is time-barred and, moreover, this was essentially a child custody battle between estranged parents; and 2) the other petitioner failed to establish that, in fact, a reasonable person in her circumstances would have a basis to fear that harm would be inflicted.
