Maharaj v. Gonzales, 450 F.3d 961 (9th Cir. 2006)
Background: Aliens petitioned for review of decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) upholding immigration judge's denial of their applications for asylum and withholding of removal. The Court of Appeals, 416 F.3d 1088, denied the petition.

Holding: On rehearing en banc, the Court of Appeals held that substantial evidence did not support immigration judge's determination that alien had been firmly resettled in Canada before arriving in United States.
