list persecution claim as well but that assumption is itself an average credibility determination dies you didn't actually get to see this evidence so the board is the first well let me know your client had been ordered deported is that correct yes that is quite removed and now your client is wishing to reopen those proceedings is that correct  what he will be persecuted on return to china on the basis of his religion he converted to charters church while he was in the united states this conversion happened after his immigration proceedings so you do not have an opportunity to present that of his claim is that he he he converted to a religion that is persecuted in china and he did this after a really was going to be sent back to china things but it's not going to change the result well no your honor because the board isn't the fact finder here once it reopens the case the i j will go into all of this evidence so the board who defected will be assuming that the i g would find that there's no eligibility for asylum here and it doesn't function the board are supposed to take the evidence as true and really determine whether there's a crime such a case that is where there's a reasonable likelihood  and in both instances government authorities abuse the wife back in china on account of these religious material was the conversion in the other case also after the removal order yes yes it was and so given that the panel came out in a on a motion to reopen is not a fact finder motion to reopen is not a fact finding hearing in fact the figg language in the regulations that discuss the requirements of a motion to reopen state that the picture supposed to present new material facts proceeding from the proceedings below and the government's admits that this is a valid exercise of the board's discretion the board has discretion to consider this underlying adverse credibility determination in looking at the reliability of the evidence titian or has a very heavy burden that is recognized by the supreme court to reopen proceedings that heavy burden requires that he has to show that the outcome would change and the record is very very clearly said given language i think is particularly pertinent to this case granting such motions to freely will permit endless delay of deportation by aliens created infertile enough to continually continuously produce new and material facts and sufficient to establish a prima facia case and i would say that this case is exactly what they were warning against look at the particular facts of this case petitioner was found not credible on a first claim and proceedings below before the board could even issue a decision upholding the denial of the credibility finding he converted to new religion it is just convert to a religion he converted to because christianity is a  approved religion and he converted to a specific sect that has been recognized as a cult in china and so then the board's decision comes out around the same time he converted so he has ninety days to file a motion to reopen or he's going to face significant hurdles so what does he but he doesn't have a yet because there's no if you convert in the united states there's no indication that the chinese government would have any idea that he's converted to this shadow religion so within ninety days if he manages to he claims that he accidentally can alerted the chinese government to the fact that he was a shelter and you know i would submit that you know emotions reopen they usually fall into one of two categories usually get a category where it's there on time emotions reopen in their time emotions drill and this was timely this were a timely untimely motions three opener usually where you see a plane like this because it's usually based on some change in the country conditions and you know it's supposed to be a saving grace for aliens when the code change in a come but i i don't understand are you saying that because it was a timely motion we should be viewing it more skeptically well i'm saying the board had a reason to look at it more skeptically it's unusual you don't normally see a what is not a credibility it's nomination no the board didn't make a credibility germination its case they made a reliability look you've already brought a non tribal claim to us the first time you have an interest in your motion bearing in mind that you bear this heavy burden but haven't explained to us but i guess my my i'm sorry to interrupt but i guess my problem with the analytical framework that you're creating is you said we've already determined that you weren't credible the first time but the b i a never determined that he wasn't credible to all the b i a did is review and i j is determination for clear error it did and so for all we know the vi a said you know what it seems actually like he was chris credible but we can't reverse the i j s decision for clear air and so how could it be that if it's possible to be i a thought maybe he was credible but it's not but the i j wasn't so obviously wrong that the b i a can then turn around and say what he said before was false and so we must consider this to be false analytically that just doesn't make any sense to me because there are two points that i that make the first the with respect to the motion of an institution his burden to show that reopening is warranted so if he wants to make that argument that the board did this that's something he has to couldn't the i j a have believed this religious testimony i mean if you're saying it's very suspicious that he converted after he already had the earlier decision but it's possible the i j a could have listened to him and believe him if he was well here's what they said on with respect to that with respect to there were two sort of two parts first they said because of your credibility germination and the fact you haven't explained why we should overlook your credibility germination we find it here that the statements that you submitted are reliable they also specifically cite and hyle age to a particular document which is i think the critical document in order to demonstrate a prima facia case for relief in this case that's the letter from the what the regulations say that motions tree up and are supposed to be coming to a company persuasion to demonstrate that a new hearing was well what this is what bothered me for this for a factual argument because it seems to me that a person on on reopening it's true has a high burden to show to allege facts that are going to change the result but are you arguing that he he that he's a lying about becoming a shouter or are you arguing that he hasn't made a primus facia case even if it's true that he had this last minute conversion and sent the books to his wife and the wife  when they're talking about the reliability of the of their talk about quote the reliability of the letter from the wife not credibility of the letter reliability when they're talking about the other statements they say it is not  reliable where his past testimony has been found a lack of credibility you know is that not them saying that we don't believe him because of his prior credibility terminate the other thing is that he hasn't shown that he has given reason why they should take these documents as reliable of credibility and reliability are not the same thing what do you mean one is really not credibility is they would be actively saying that his evidence was faults but reliability goes to the persuasiveness needed to meet his burden to demonstrate that he did that he warrants a new hearing there are two separate phases of the rule the  recognizes that just because you can demonstrate prima facia eligibility for leave doesn't get you automatically you know here there's that other step that heavier burden that the supreme court talks about in order to demonstrate that you warrant essentially a new truck and this this this letter is not reliable because it didn't include some sort of certification there was a foreigner who wasn't sworn in so the thing i don't understand about that argument i'm looking at the letter and this is a letter from wife to a husband and it hi i'm writing to tell you that i just received the magazines you sent me but i didn't receive the bible several days ago two people from the cities religious ministration bureau and district police station came to our home and they threatened me and blah blah blah when a wife writes a letter like that to her husband is she supposed to say you know i swear under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct i mean i've never seen a letter from a wife to a husband that has something like that it is  burden to produce the evidence that he needs to demonstrate the clincher the evidence the this is my wife's handwriting this is my wife she sent me this letter if you believe him if you found him to be credible then he could have indicated a letter but you're applying some kind of a show that i but again he said look my wife wrote me this letter and it's in her handwriting and she says that and you know it's postmarked from china i mean what more can he do in this context there's first two first he could have done what he could have done if you could explain why the board should overlook the underlying adverse credibility germination the board specifically instructed him as to what he could have done if he could explain why or provide some explanation as to why i should overlook the fact that he's already brought a non credible claim to the each each case that you have to look at the evidence specifically to determine whether it's reliable whether you know in this case it was reliable on the basis of the underlying adverse credibility determination so as we have an argument thank you very much and testimony or demeanor or to make other factual findings in terms of credibility to the extent that the government argues that this is not a credibility to a nation but it is rather a question of r eliability and the b i had still errors because it is not pointed to any evidence in the four corners a mystery a motion to reopen claims indicating that he is unreliable and you regard to be a therefore abused its discretion with regard to the letter from mr yang was just a few points first authentic lack of up and occasional loan is not sufficient to establish an adverse credibility determination or and unreliability claim that is the holding in weighing the ins as well as the holder and therefore here the b i would not be permitted to do so additionally i had a good hold it against the weight of the letter that right they can't hold it against mr yang that he submitted a letter without authentication and say that makes mr yang not credible but they could say we don't give the letter as much weight as we would all evidence as true unless it is inherently unbelievable and because of the i have not indicated in any way that mr yang new evidence is inherently unbelievable it would not be permitted to give less weight to what he only submitted so he had no testimony he didn't say he was a shouter he didn't say this anything happened all he did was offer a letter that was an authentic and then the only new thing he had on reopening would he then qualify for you reopening your honor if the wife's letter alone were the only evidence that mr day had submitted he he could possibly qualify for reopening based on a sound showing a reasonable likelihood of success on his claim contrary to decided by the b i a instead of both c n is the case binding on this record and in that case this court held that the petitioner merely must establish a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits of his claim therefore in mystery and twice letter we have evidence indicating that he is he has converted to the shouters religion he sent material to and why his wife was abused by the chinese
