Karnail SINGH, Petitioner, v. Michael B. MUKASEY, Attorney General, Respondent, 256 F. App'x 100

MEMORANDUM Karnail Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) upholding an Immigration Judge’s denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), we deny the petition for review. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Singh failed to testify credibly. See Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir.2000).

Because Singh failed to establish that he was eligible for asylum, he necessarily failed to establish eligibility for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003). Because Singh’s CAT claim is based on the same testimony that was found not credible, and he points to no other evidence that the BIA should have considered in making the CAT determination, his CAT claim also fails. 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.
