111990P.pdf   09/11/2012  Mathias Hounmenou  v.  Eric H. Holder, Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1990
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Smith,
   Circuit Judge]
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Assuming, without deciding, that
   petitioner was entitled to raise a claim of direct persecution based on the
   threat of female genital mutilation to his daughter, such a claim would
   necessarily fail because the Immigration Judge expressly found that the
   daughter herself did not have a well-founded fear of being subjected to
   the FGM.
