Tammy Po Wah LAU, Petitioner, v. Alberto R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent, 168 F. App'x 855

MEMORANDUM Tammy Po Wah Lau is a native and citizen of China. Lau petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision, which affirmed the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) order denying her application for asylum as time-barred, and denying her claims for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Lau only contests the denial of withholding of removal and CAT relief. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. ‘Where, as here, the BIA adopts the IJ’s decision while adding its own reasons, we review both decisions.” See Kataria v.

INS, 232 F.3d 1107, 1112 (9th Cir.2000). Substantial evidence supports the IJ and BIA’s denial of withholding of removal because Lau failed to establish that it is more likely than not that she will be persecuted if returned to China. See Ramadan v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 1218, 1222-23 (9th Cir .2005). Substantial evidence also supports the IJ’s denial of CAT relief. See Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 993 (9th Cir.2003). The voluntary departure period was stayed, and that stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate. See Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741, 750 (9th Cir.2004).
