Alzainati v. Holder, No. 07-9565

Petitioner's petition for review of the BIA's order denying his petition to reopen is denied where: 1) the record reflected that the BIA fully considered the evidence submitted by Petitioner; and 2) Petitioner's challenges to the BIA's factual assumptions could not be recast as constitutional claims falling under the jurisdictional safe-harbor of 8 U.S.C. section 1252(a)(2)(D).
