153169U.pdf   03/16/2017  Yan Zhang  v.  Jefferson B. Sessions, III
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3169
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Benton, Beam and Murphy, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. The BIA's decision to affirm the IJ's credibility findings was supported by substantial evidence, including discrepancies in petitioner's testimony and evidence; petitioner failed to establish past persecution on a protected ground as the isolated incident of police detention he points to, while unfortunate and troubling, falls short of persecution; nor did petitioner establish a well-founded and objectively reasonable fear of future persecution on religious grounds if he returned to China; because petitioner failed to meet the lower standard for asylum relief, he necessarily failed to meet the stricter standards for withholding of removal or CAT relief. 161794U.pdf 03/16/2017 United States v. Max Bolden U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-1794 U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls
[UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Benton, Beam and Murphy, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. Sentence imposed upon the revocation of defendant's supervised release, including five years of further supervision, was not an abuse of the court's discretion and was substantively reasonable. 162705U.pdf 03/16/2017 United States v. Tyjuan Cooper U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-2705 U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville
[UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Riley, Chief Judge, and Gruender and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in imposing an enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(b)(6) for possession of a firearm in connection with another felony offense as the evidence was sufficient to show defendant was involved in drug trafficking. 162723P.pdf 03/16/2017 AMCO Insurance Company v. Judith Williams U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-2723 U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Shepherd, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Insurance. Applying Missouri case law, the tortfeasor was not an underinsured motorist, and AMCO's policy with the victims did not provide additional coverage; the policy in question was not ambiguous with respect to underinsured motorist coverage.
