Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ali Amzad Hossan, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") summary affirmance of an immigration judge's ("IJ") denial of his application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the BIA's factual findings regarding changed country conditions for substantial evidence. Lopez v. Ashcroft, 366 F.3d 799, 805 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petition for review.
The IJ's determination that changed country conditions have undermined Hossan's well-founded fear of future persecution is supported by substantial evidence. The IJ based her decision on Hossan's own testimony that the Bangladesh Nationalist Party is no longer in power and the new ruling party, the Awami League, has released former Jatiyo President Ershad from prison. See Acewicz v. INS, 984 F.2d 1056, 1059-1061 (9th Cir.1993) (evidence that persecuting party no longer controls the government supports finding of no well-founded fear).
Because Hossan failed to establish eligibility for asylum, he necessarily failed to meet the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 960-61 (9th Cir.1996) (en banc).
Hossan's contention that the BIA's summary affirmance is a violation of due process is foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 850-51 (9th Cir. 2003).
Pursuant to Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004), petitioner's motion for stay of removal included a timely request for stay of voluntary departure. Because the stay of removal was continued based on the government's filing of a notice of non-opposition, the voluntary departure period was also stayed, nunc pro tunc, to the filing of the motion for stay of removal and this stay will expire on issuance of this court's mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
