Singh

MEMORANDUM **

In these consolidated petitions, Kuldip Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture, and a BIA order denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence adverse credibility findings, Sidhu v. INS, 220 F.3d 1085, 1088 (9th Cir.2000), and review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Guzman v. INS, 318 F.3d 911 , 912 n. 1 (9th Cir.2003) (per curiam). We deny the petitions for review.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility finding because Singh demonstrated very little knowledge regarding the political party he claimed to support, see Singh v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1139, 1143 (9th Cir.2004), the document he presented from the sarpanch conflicted with his testimony, and the first letter from his father-in-law omitted mention of his son’s death, an omission that was material and not satisfactorily explained. See Wang v. INS, 352 F.3d 1250, 1258-59 (9th Cir.2003)…
