Hrair Nazari v. Loretta E. Lynch

MEMORANDUM ** Hrair Nazari, Jouliet Akbary Masihy, Selina Nazari, and Sevada Nazari, natives of Iran and citizens of Germany, seek review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their applications for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.- See Bao Tai Nian v. Holder, 683 F.3d 1227, 1229-30 (9th Cir. 2012). We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny the petition for review. The record does not compel the conclusion that the government of Germany was or would be unwilling or unable to control the individuals petitioners fear. See Sowe v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 1281, 1286 (9th Cir. 2008) (declining to second-guess an IJ’s construction of a somewhat contradictory country report where the IJ rationally construed the report and analyzed petitioner’s specific situation); see also Nahrvani v. Gonzales, 399 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2005) (record did not compel a finding that the government was unable or unwilling to control perpetrators where petitioner did not give the police the names of any suspects and the police investigated but were unable to solve the crime). Thus, we uphold the BIA’s denial of petitioners’ asylum claims. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
