Qingfa Zhu v. Loretta E. Lynch

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Qingfa Zhu v. Loretta E. Lynch, 654 F. App'x 305 (9th Cir. 2016)

Qingfa Zhu v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Qingfa Zhu, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, applying the standards created by the REAL ID Act. Ren v. Holder, 648 F.3d 1079, 1083-84 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Zhu failed to present sufficiently detailed and consistent testimony, or reasonably available corroboration, to meet his burden of proof for asylum. See id. at 1093-94 (denying petition where asylum applicant failed to provide corroborative evidence requested by the IJ or explain why he could not do so). Thus, Zhu’s asylum claim fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
