Ruci v. Holder, Jr.

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided December 23, 2013No. 12-1886PPublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Petitioner Kristo Ruci seeks review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. Ruci contends that the Board erred in finding that the government’s evidence of changed country conditions rebutted the presumption of relief raised by his past persecution on political and ethnic grounds. Because the evidence supports the Board’s finding of materially changed country conditions since the petitioner’s departure, we deny the petition for review.
