United States Third Circuit

In asylum proceedings brought by petitioners based on their fear that, because they had a second child while in the U.S., one or both of them would be forcibly sterilized for violating China's family planning regime if they were forced to return, petition for review of a denial of asylum and related relief is denied where substantial evidence supported a conclusion that petitioners' claimed fear of forcible sterilization was not objectively reasonable.
