Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit February 10, 2006, No. 03-74542; Agency Nos. A79-158-432, A79-158-433, A79-158-434, A79-158-435, A79-158-436, A79-158-437 (Kheiro v. Gonzales)

*304MEMORANDUM**

Najah Kheiro, a Chaldean Christian from Iraq, filed a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision affirming without opinion the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying asylum to Kheiro and his family. Where the BIA affirms the IJ’s reasoning, we review the IJ’s opinion rather than the BIA’s. See Arulampalam v. Ashcroft, 353 F.3d 679, 680 (9th Cir.
