Udarbe

MEMORANDUM **

Charlito Alvarez Udarbe, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for suspension of deportation, voluntary departure, asylum, and withholding of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478 , 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812 , *976 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s pretermission of Udarbe’s suspension of deportation claim and denial of voluntary departure because he failed to exhaust the issues before the BIA. See Zara v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 930 (9th Cir.2004).

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination because the IJ’s negative assessment of Udarbe’s demeanor is entitled to special deference. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1151 (9th Cir.1999). Because Udarbe’s asylum and withholding of removal claims are based on testimony the IJ found not credible, those claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153,…
