United States Seventh Circuit

Petitions for review of BIA's denials of several petitions to reopen removal proceedings are dismissed in part and denied in part where no reviewable questions of law were presented regarding: 1) whether petitioners would face persecution in China for violating its one-child policy; 2) denial of a petition based on petitioner's propensity to lie in prior removal proceedings; or 3) dismissal as untimely of a petition to reopen based on the ineffective assistance of counsel at prior proceedings.
