Ling Ling Wu v. Gonzales
Ling Ling Wu v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Petitioner Ling Ling Wu seeks review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the decision of the Immigration Judge (IJ) denying her petition for asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
I
The IJ denied asylum on the basis of an adverse credibility determination and this determination is supported by substantial evidence. The IJ partially based this determination on numerous conflicts within Wu’s testimony and conflicts between her testimony and statements made to immigration officers when she arrived in
II
By failing to meet the standard for asylum, Wu fails to meet the standard for withholding of removal. Valderrama v. INS, 260 F.3d 1083, 1085 (9th Cir. 2001). Similarly, Wu has presented no evidence beyond her discredited testimony that demonstrates she would, more likely than not, be tortured if removed to the proposed country and has failed to qualify for relief under the Convention Against Torture. See 8 C.F.R. § 208.16(c)(2); Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
. Wu’s husband, Zhi Xiong Chen, originally filed a petition for asylum, withholding, and protection under the Convention Against Torture on his own behalf. Chen subsequently withdrew that petition and his application is derivative of Wu’s.
