No. 20-60330
immigration judge’s adverse credibility determination was made in error because he was not given an opportunity to explain any alleged inconsistencies and because it was not sufficiently related to his persecution claims. However, the immigration judge did not make an adverse credibility determination, and instead determined that Singh did not submit sufficient corroborative evidence to establish his entitlement to asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the CAT. Because he does not challenge the determination that he failed to provide reasonably available corroborative evidence, he has abandoned any challenge to that determination. See Chambers v. Mukasey, 520 F.3d 445, 448 n.1 (5th Cir. 2008). Moreover, Singh has failed to identify any corroborative evidence he could have obtained, and there is nothing in the record compelling the conclusion that corroborative evidence is unavailable. See Rui Yang v. Holder, 664 F.3d 580, 587 (5th Cir. 2011).
Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.
