United States Ninth Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of Chinese petitioner's motion to reopen her asylum proceedings to argue a change in her personal circumstances is denied where: 1) the BIA's interpretation of 8 U.S.C. sections 1158(a)(2)(D) and 1229a(c)(7), and their implementing regulations, in In re CW-L- was reasonable, and merited deference under Chevron; and 2) the BIA did not err in ruling that petitioner's motion to reopen was barred by the number and time limitations of section 1229a(c)(7).
