Warui v. Holder, 08-2278

Petition for review of a denial of Kenyan petitioner's motion to reopen seeking to apply individually for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) is denied where: 1) there was no abuse of discretion in the denial as the motion stated no new facts material to the claims, was not supported by any previously unavailable evidence, and a divorce from petitioner's husband did not constitute changed circumstances in this case; and 2) her brief improperly attempted to challenge findings of the BIA and the IJ regarding original claims for withholding of removal and protection under the CAT.
