   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Wollman, Bowman and Colloton, Circuit

   proceedings to the period within the scope of the remand order; the ALJ 
   did not err in proceeding with the hearing even though claimant was

   and had been given a list of organizations to contact for legal 
   assistance.

   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Colloton, Bowman and Benton, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Petitioner offered no evidence that the 
   two particular social groups on which he based his request for withholding 
   of removal were viewed as socially distinct in Guatemalan society or were 
   different from groups previously held not cognizable, and the IJ did not 
   err in denying his request for withholding of removal; petitioner's 
   evidence failed to show it was more likely than not he would be tortured 
   if he returned to Guatemala, and the IJ did not err in denying CAT relief. 
  
164385U.pdf   10/11/2017  Henry Diaz-Garcia  v.  Jefferson B. Sessions, III
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4385
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Wollman, Bowman and Colloton, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Petitioner's proposed particular social 
   group was not cognizable and the evidence did not compel the conclusion 
   that the gang members who beat him up did so for any other reason than to 
   recruit him (rather than because of his religion or another protected 
   ground); the agency did not err in denying petitioner's request for 
   withholding of removal; denial of CAT relief affirmed.

   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Gruender, Benton and Kelly, Circuit 
   Judges]

   whole supports the ALJ's determination that claimant's depression did not 
   significantly limit his ability to do basic work activities.

   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1483
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Batesville   
   [UNPUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Gruender, Benton and Kelly, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. The district court did not err in 
   granting summary judgment prior to discovery; plaintiff's due-process 
   claim fails because he lacks a protected liberty interest in being 
   considered for work release; plaintiff's equal-protection claim fails 
   because he did not identify differential treatment of similarly situated 
   individuals; with respect to plaintiff's ADA and Rehabilitation Act 
   claims, he failed to plead sufficient facts to support a plausible 
   inference that he was denied consideration for work release because of his 
   disability.
