Singh v. Ashcroft
Singh v. Ashcroft
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s decision. Singh’s testimony was internally inconsistent, and inconsistent with his declaration and testimony before the asylum officer concerning the name of the station house officer during his arrests, the number of people arrested with Singh in 1995, and whether his father was alive or deceased. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1151-53 (9th Cir. 1999).
Because Singh failed to establish eligibility for asylum, he necessarily failed to meet the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 960-61 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc).
Singh’s challenges to the BIA’s summary affirmance procedure are foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 850-51 (9th Cir. 2003).
