Re: No loopholes in Dodd-Frank

1) Securities and Exchange Commission/Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Re: Commercial Risk (CFTC RIN

3235-AK65, SEC File Number $7-12-10)

Dear Commissioners Shapiro and Gensler: Don’t let the American Bankers Association (ABA) redefine important terms like

"commercial risk" to keep banks that engage in risky derivatives trading from complying with transparency and business

conduct requirements. Commercial risk should not be expanded to include financial risk. Accepting the ABA argument

would open the door for exemptions for risky hedge funds and insurance companies.

2) Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Re: Position Limits (RIN 3038-AD 17 )

Dear Commissioner Gensler: The CFTC needs to set strong position limits to crack down on the energy and food commodity

speculation that serves no productive purpose. I urge the Commission to define limits that will address not only manipulation,

but also excessive speculation, which will require a stricter approach.

3) U.S. Department of the Treasury, Re: FX Swaps (75 FR 66426 Document Number 2010-27274)

Dear Secretary Geithner: Just say "no" to foreign exchange traders who want to exempt foreign currency derivatives from the

clearing and transparency requirements of the

Dodd-Frank Act. $4 trillion dollars a day is traded in these highly-leveraged swaps and this number may increase to over $10

trillion in a decade. As the head of the Financial

Stability Oversight Board your job is to decrease risk in the system, not encourage off-book trading and opaque markets.

PRESENT: Hon. ROBERT D. SACK, Hon. ROBERT A. KATZMANN, Hon. B.D. PARKER, Circuit Judges.

SUMMARY ORDER

Petitioner Yan Yue Lu, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, petitions for review of a December 14, 2004 BIA decision affirming the decision of an Immigration Judge dated September 16, 2003, denying her application for relief pursuant to the Convention Against Torture. *In re Yan Yue Lu,*No. [ A XX XXX XXX ] (B.I.A. Dec. 14, 2004), *aff'g*No. [ A XX XXX XXX ] (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Sept. 16, 2003).

In her petition, Lu alleges that she is afraid to return to China because her cousin had illegally emigrated to Japan and was arrested and beaten in jail for three months when he returned. Lu also presents background materials which she argues support this fear. None of the materials, however, present “particularized evidence” that a citizen in her situation “more likely than not” be tortured upon her return to China. Accordingly, Lu’s petition is controlled by our ruling in *Lin v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice,*432 F.3d 156 (2d Cir.2005), and the petition for review of the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals is hereby DENIED.
