Singh v. Gonzales
Singh v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Harnek Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility finding based on inconsistencies between petitioner’s testimony and documentary evidence that he submitted, a finding that petitioner’s testimony that was vague and lacking in detail, and petitioner’s nonresponsiveness to questions during his hearing. See id. at 1043-45; see also Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1153 (9th Cir. 1999).
Because petitioner failed to demonstrate that he is eligible for asylum, it follows that he did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).
Because petitioner’s CAT claim is based on the same testimony that was found not credible, and he points to no other evidence to support this claim, his CAT claim also fails. See id. at 1157.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
