Dembo Njie v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Substantial evidence supported the IJ’s adverse credibility finding because Njie’s testimony about the purported arrest warrant was internally contradictory and contradicted the copy of the warrant submitted as evidence, and the inconsistencies were not trivial. See Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1044 (9th Cir. 2010). In the absence of credible testimony or documentary evidence, the BIA’s denial of all relief was supported by substantial evidence because Njie failed to carry his burdens of proof to show a well-founded fear of persecution or likelihood of torture. Consequently, we need not reach Njie’s other arguments.

PETITION DENIED.
