Khrystotodorov v. Mukasey

Mykola Mykolayevich Khrystotodorov ("Mykola"), his wife Oksana, and his daughter Viktoriya (collectively, "the Petitioners") are citizens of the Ukraine who sought asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"), based on persecution on account of their Baptist religion. The Immigration Judge (IJ) denied their applications and refused to reopen the proceedings for the submission of additional evidence. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissed their appeal, and the Petitioners seek judicial review. We granted a temporary stay of removal and of voluntary departure, and now, having fully considered the claims, we deny the petition for review and dissolve the temporary stay order.
