Worede v. Ashcroft
Citation: 96 F. App'x 125Docket: No. 03-1536
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; April 28, 2004; Federal Appellate Court
Hiwot Worede, an Ethiopian national, filed a petition for review against a Board of Immigration Appeals order that upheld an immigration judge's denial of her asylum and withholding of removal applications. The court concluded that the Board's determination—Worede did not demonstrate past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution—was not contrary to the law or an abuse of discretion, citing relevant case law. Therefore, the petition for review was denied. The court also opted not to hold oral arguments, stating that the case facts and legal issues were sufficiently clear from the submitted materials.
