United States First Circuit
Nako v. Holder, 09-2351
A petition for review of a BIA's affirmance of IJ's denial of an Albanian family's request for asylum and related relief is denied where: 1) substantial evidence supported the BIA's and IJ's conclusion that fundamental changes in the Albanian political situation since 2001, when petitioner-father was last in Albania, rebutted the presumption that the father had a well-founded fear of future persecution by his Socialist Party adversaries; and 2) substantial evidence supported a conclusion that the evidence was insufficient for petitioner to make out a claim for CAT protection.
