Singh v. Ashcroft
Singh v. Ashcroft
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Mukhitar Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the order of
Singh contends that the IJ erred in denying him relief under the CAT. However, because Singh failed to raise this issue before the BIA, we lack jurisdiction to address it. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004).
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility finding. The IJ gave specific and cogent reasons for disbelieving Singh, see Chebchoub, 257 F.3d at 1043, and therefore, the record does not compel the conclusion that Singh was credible, see Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 966 (9th Cir. 1998). Accordingly, Singh failed to establish eligibility for asylum or withholding of removal. See id. at 971.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
