Boboy v. Ashcroft
Opinion
Petitioner Cedric Togba Boboy, a native and citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo, petitions this court for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his application for asylum and withholding of removal under the Convention Against Torture. Boboy also seeks the appointment of counsel. As Boboy has since obtained private counsel, his motion is DENIED as moot.
In rejecting Boboy’s appeal, the BIA adopted the Immigration Judge’s (IJ) findings that Boboy lacked credibility. We hold that the IJ’s credibility findings were reasonable and supported by substantial evidence. See Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76, 79 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, Boboy’s petition for review is DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
