MEMORANDUM **
Lakhbir Singh Dhillon, a native and citizen of India, petitions pro se for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) dismissing his appeal from an Immigration Judge’s (“U”) order denying his application for asylum and withholding of deportation. We have jurisdic *469 tion under 8 U.S.C. § llOSaia). 1 “Where, as here, the BIA adopts the IJ’s decision while adding its own reasons, we review both decisions.” Kataria v. INS, 232 F.3d 1107, 1112 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition.
The IJ’s and BIA’s adverse credibility determinations are supported by substantial evidence and specific, cogent reasons. See de Leon-Barrios v. INS, 116 F.3d 391 , 394 (9th Cir.1997). Therefore, Dhillon failed to establish eligibility for asylum. See id. at 393. It follows that he failed to meet the more stringent standard for withholding of deportation. See id. at 394.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
