Task: songer_geniss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to identify the issue in the case, that is, the social and/or political context of the litigation in which more purely legal issues are argued. Put somewhat differently, this field identifies the nature of the conflict between the litigants. The focus here is on the subject matter of the controversy rather than its legal basis. Consider the following categories: "criminal" (including appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence), "civil rights" (excluding First Amendment or due process; also excluding claims of denial of rights in criminal proceeding or claims by prisoners that challenge their conviction or their sentence (e.g., habeas corpus petitions are coded under the criminal category); does include civil suits instituted by both prisoners and callable non-prisoners alleging denial of rights by criminal justice officials), "First Amendment", "due process" (claims in civil cases by persons other than prisoners, does not include due process challenges to government economic regulation), "privacy", "labor relations", "economic activity and regulation", and "miscellaneous".

ORDER
This matter is presently before the Court upon a motion for reconsideration of our earlier opinion in this matter which is reported at 693 F.2d 597, wherein we held, relying on I.N.S. v. Stevic, 678 F.2d 401 (2d Cir.1982), that the respondent erred in requiring the petitioner to demonstrate a clear probability that she would be persecuted if returned to her country in her petition for asylum or the withholding of deportation under § 243(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1253(h). The Supreme Court, however, recently reversed Stevie, supra, and held that an alien seeking asylum must demonstrate a clear probability of persecution. I.N.S. v. Stevic, — U.S. -, 104 S.Ct. 2489, 81 L.Ed.2d 321 (1984).
Upon considering the petition for asylum in light of the standard now mandated we conclude that the petitioner has failed to demonstrate a clear probability that she will be persecuted if returned to her country. Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is granted, our earlier opinion is vacated and the decision of the Immigration Appeals Board denying the petition for asylum or the withholding of deportation is hereby AFFIRMED.
