Jasbir Singh v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Griselda Beatriz Claudio-Alas, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“U”) 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 the agency’s factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility determinations created by the REAL ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir.2010). We review de novo claims of due process violations, Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 535 (9th Cir.2004), and for abuse of discretion the denial of a request for a continuance, Ahmed v. Holder, 569 F.3d 1009, 1012 (9th Cir.2009). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination based on inconsistencies between Claudio- Alas’s testimony and her asylum application regarding her residence, employment, and schooling. See Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1048 (adverse credibility finding reasonable under the totality of circumstances).…
