Kapoor

MEMORANDUM

Krishan Jiwan Kapoor, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“I J”) denial of his applications 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 and deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination. The IJ identified specific inconsistencies in Kapoor’s testimony and the medical documents he presented that relate to the injuries and incidents of persecution at the heart of his claims. See Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir.2000). In the absence of credible evidence, Kapoor has failed to show eligibility for asylum or withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

Because Kapoor’s CAT claim is based on the same testimony the agency found not credible, substantial evidence also supports denial of relief under the CAT. See id. at 1156-57 .

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
