Li Cheng v. Jefferson Sessions

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

“We review the BIA’s findings of fact, including credibility findings, for substantial evidence and uphold the BIA’s findings unless the evidence compels a contrary result.” Cui v. Holder, 712 F.3d 1332, 1336 (9th Cir. 2013), Cheng has presented no evidence that the 1-213 form was inaccurate, see Espinoza v. INS, 45 F.3d 308, 310 (9th Cir. 1995), and has not exhausted his claim that the 1-826 form was improperly admitted. See Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1208 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Nor has Cheng established that the immigration judge’s credibility finding lacked support in the record: “[E]ven a petitioner’s minor inconsistencies, when aggregated or when viewed in light of the total circumstances, may, undermine credibility.” Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1043 n.4 (9th Cir. 2010).

PETITION DENIED.
