U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1630
Immigration & Naturalization Service
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Schiltz,
District Judge]
Petition for review - Immigration. The harassment and discrimination
petitioner suffered because of his albinism did not rise to the level of
persecution; claims of economic hardship did not rise to level of
economic persecution; Immigration Judge did not err in finding petitioner
did not have a well-founded fear of persecution and the IJ did not err in
denying petitioner's asylum petition; BIA did not abuse its discretion in
denying petitioner's motion to reopen. Judge Schiltz, concurring in part
and dissenting in part.
