Bain v. Immigration & Naturalization Service

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided April 3, 2002

32 F. App'x 941

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM *

Mr. Bains’s1 applications for asylum and withholding of deportation were denied because the Immigration Judge and Board of Immigration Appeals found his testimony incredible. We apply the transitional rules2 and review both the I.J.’s and B.I.A.’s decisions.3 Mr. Bains was not entitled to a new hearing to explain the additional implausibilities relied upon by the B.I.A.4 Substantial evidence supports the adverse credibility findings.5

PETITION DENIED.
