ALEMU v. MUKASEY

No. 06-3309.

509 F.3d 907 (2007)

Martha Wondimu ALEMU, Petitioner, v. Michael B. MUKASEY, Attorney General of the United States, Respondent.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Filed: December 11, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Israel W. Gobena, St. Paul, MN, for appellant.

Ari Nazarou, USDOJ, OIL, Washington, DC, for appellee.

Before WOLLMAN, JOHN R. GIBSON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.


JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge.

Martha Wondimu Alemu, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying her motion to reopen her removal proceedings. Alemu contends that an academic article concerning the effect of torture on members of her Oromo ethnic group demonstrates changed country conditions in Ethiopia, which would support granting an out-of-time motion to reopen. We deny the petition for review.
