28                UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of these petitions for review of

29       Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decisions, it is hereby

         07162014-B3-3-5
 1   ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petitions for review

 2   are DENIED.

 3           Each of these petitions challenges a decision of the

 4   BIA that denied a motion to reopen.        The applicable

 5   standards of review are well established.        See Jian Hui Shao

 6   v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69 (2d Cir. 2008).

 7           Petitioners, all natives and citizens of China, filed

 8   motions to reopen based on claims that they fear persecution

 9   because they have had one or more children in violation of

10   China’s population control program.        For largely the same

11   reasons as this Court set forth in Jian Hui Shao, 546 F.3d
12   138, we find no error in the agency’s determinations that

13   the petitioners failed to demonstrate either materially

14   changed country conditions that would excuse the untimely

15   and number-barred filing of their motions or their prima

16   facie eligibility for relief as to their family planning

17   claims.           See id. at 158-72.

18           We also find no error in the agency’s conclusions that

19   petitioners failed to demonstrate their prima facie

20   eligibility for relief based on their religious practices.

21   See id. at 169-74.

     07162014-B3-3-5                        2
1            For the foregoing reasons, these petitions for review

2    are DENIED.       As we have completed our review, any stay of

3    removal that the Court previously granted in these petitions

4    is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in

5    these petitions is DISMISSED as moot.       Any pending request

6    for oral argument in these petitions is DENIED in accordance

7    with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and

8    Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).
