Satwinder SINGH, Petitioner, v. Alberto R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent, 227 F. App'x 694

MEMORANDUM Satwinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’

summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), and we deny the petition.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination based on inconsistencies between petitioner’s testimony and his second and third declarations regarding whether he was arrested and beaten and participated in any political activity, and his failure to provide corroboration. See id. at 1043. Because petitioner failed to demonstrate that he is eligible for asylum, it follows that he did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003). Substantial evidence also supports the denial of relief under CAT.

See id. at 1157. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
