How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that the record compelled a finding of past persecution, but concluding that substantial evidence supported the BIA’s determination that a petitioner failed to show that it is more likely that not that he would be tortured
• upholding a denial of CAT relief after soldiers had threatened to kill the petitioner, stabbed him, and ransacked his home
• declining to address whether de novo review applied because the outcome was the same under any standard
• finding past persecution where attackers stabbed petitioner, threatened petitioner’s life, and continued to pursue petitioner well after the stabbing
• explaining that we may look to the IJ’s decision because “[t]he BIA’s lack of analysis, 38 LAPADAT V. BONDI along with the citation to the IJ’s opinion, suggests that the BIA gave significant weight to the IJ’s findings” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)
