O R D E R
The opinion issued in the above-entitled case on January 12, 2007 is hereby
amended as follows:
On Page 11, in the first full paragraph, lines 16 -22, please delete:
Questioning by the IJ may cross the line, however, when it
“becomes so aggressive that if frazzles applicants and nitpicks
inconsistencies,” thus distorting the record. Giday v. Gonzales,
434 F.3d 543, 549 (7th Cir. 2006). Here, the IJ’s questioning,
although extensive at times, was not so aggressive as to distort
the record.

No. 05-3132 - 2 -
And replace with:
We have previously expressed the view that immigration judges
should work to meet this obligation with patience and decorum,
but we have stated that a less than desirable demeanor, in
and of itself, does not violate due process. See Diallo,
381 F.3d at 70. Accordingly, the Bocis’ due process claim
cannot succeed.
