Proposed IFC Investment in Vaalco Gabon

(Gabonese Republic)

November 21, 2013

Like extractive sectors generally, the oil sector presents unique opportunities as well as

challenges for economic development. The serious governance challenges that may exist in the

extractive sectors, if not addressed properly, can offset the benefits that such projects can

contribute to poverty reduction. In addition, extractive projects can present substantial

environmental risks that, if not appropriately mitigated, have the potential to cause significant

environmental harm. For these reasons, the United States took particular care in reviewing this 

project.

The United States appreciates that Vaalco discloses publicly all material payments made to the 

Government of Gabon as well as terms of its principal contracts, including its Production 

Sharing Contract with the Government. While the United States recognizes Vaalco’s efforts to 

operate in a transparent manner, the United States does not believe that the Government of 

Gabon’s systems for the accounting, auditing and public disclosure of payments made to the 

Government currently meet acceptable standards of transparency. The United States understands

that the Government is taking certain positive steps, including seeking to rejoin the Extractive 

Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). The United States encourages the Gabonese 

authorities to make extractive revenues transparency a priority and, furthermore, to publish 

Production Sharing Contracts and other agreements through which the Government

engages companies.

In terms of assessing the project’s environmental impacts, the United States recognizes that 

Vaalco has disclosed Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for its investment in the Etame 

and SouthEast Etame and North Tchibala fields. However, the United States understands that 

the EIA for Vaalco’s planned investment in crude-sweetening facilities will not be completed 

until the project design is ready in 2014. In addition, the timeframe for the disclosure of EIAs –

which were published in September – falls short of the disclosure requirements mandated under 

U.S. law. The United States wants to emphasize again that transparency in the development of 

extractive industries is essential if the benefits of such projects are to reach the poor and 

contribute to the country’s economic development. On the basis of our finding that Gabon’s 

systems for tracking payments in the oil sector currently do not meet acceptable standards of 

transparency, and consistent with our legislative guidance in this area, the United States wishes

to be recorded as voting against this project.

LINDA DE LA TORRE-AVILA,

 Petitioner,

 v.

ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

 Respondent.

No. 09-70097

Agency No. A079-391-675

MEMORANDUM*

On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted September 10, 2012** 

Before: WARDLAW, CLIFTON, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Linda De La Torre-Avila, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal

from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum,

withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture

FILED

SEP 18 2012

MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK

U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
2 09-70097

(“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review factual

findings for substantial evidence, Molina-Morales v. INS, 237 F.3d 1048, 1050

(9th Cir. 2001), and we deny the petition for review.

De La Torre-Avila and her father testified to a dispute between members of

different political parties and testified that after two of the men involved in this

dispute were murdered, De La Torre-Avila’s family received death threats because

of their suspected involvement in the murders. Substantial evidence supports the

agency’s finding that De La Torre-Avila did not establish that her family has been

persecuted, or that she fears future persecution, on account of a protected ground. 

See id. at 1051-52 (personal retribution by politician was not persecution on

account of a protected ground). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s

finding that De La Torre-Avila could reasonably relocate within Mexico. See

8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(b)(2)(ii); Gomes v. Gonzales, 429 F.3d 1264, 1267 (9th Cir.

2005). Accordingly, De La Torre-Avila’s asylum claim fails.

Because De La Torre-Avila failed to establish eligibility for asylum, she

necessarily failed to meet the higher standard of eligibility for withholding of

removal. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2006).

Further, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief

because De La Torre-Avila failed to establish it is more likely than not she will be
3 09-70097

tortured if returned to Mexico. See 8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.16(c)(2), (3); Singh v.

Gonzales, 439 F.3d 1100, 1113 (9th Cir. 2006).

Finally, we reject De La Torre-Avila’s contention that the BIA failed to

adequately consider her evidence. See Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 603

(9th Cir. 2006) (petitioner did not overcome the presumption that the BIA

reviewed the record).

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, former husband of appellee, appeals an amended final judgment of divorce in which the court approved and adopted a stipulation made in open court relating to alimony and homestead property. It is urged that the record does not affirmatively show that appellant agreed to the stipulation. We think this position is without merit in view of appellant’s presence in court, his apparent understanding of this agreement and the agreement of his counsel on his behalf. See Peters v. Spielvogel, Fla.App.1964, 163 So.2d 59; Dunscombe v. Smith, 139 Fla. 497, 190 So. 796 (1939).

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Johnie Kib Thompson, Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).2 PER CURIAM: Johnie Kib Thompson seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistratejudge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Thompson v. Angelone , No. CA-98-219-2 (E.D. Va. Feb. 25, 1999). We dispense with oral argument becausethe facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
