HUA ZHANG, Petitioner, v. Eric H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General, Respondent, 360 F. App'x 863

MEMORANDUM Hua Zhang, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 937 n. 2 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination based on discrepancies between Zhang’s testimony and documentary evidence regarding when she was ordered to report for a pregnancy test, and Zhang’s failure to provide a persuasive explanation for the discrepancy. See Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d 735, 739 (9th Cir.2007) (inconsistencies between testimony and documentary evidence support an adverse credibility finding where inconsistencies go to the heart of the claim). In the absence of credible testimony, Zhang’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v.

Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003). Because Zhang’s CAT claim is based on the same testimony the agency found to be not credible, and Zhang points to no other evidence the agency should have considered, her CAT claim fails. See id. at 1156-57. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
