Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit September 4, 2001, No. 00-1438 (Malek v. Immigration & Naturalization Service)

Order

Last year this court held that the Board of Immigration Appeals did not commit clear error or abuse its discretion in concluding that Boutros Malek had testified untruthfully, and that as a result Malek (a citizen of Lebanon who failed to leave the United States after his tourist visa expired) had not established the requirements for a grant of asylum. See Malek v. INS, 198 F.
