MEMORANDUM **
In these consolidated petitions for review, Irfan Pervai Bhatti, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) and the BIA’s order denying his motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962 (9th Cir.2004), we review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Malty v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 942, 945 (9th Cir.2004) and we review de novo constitutional questions, Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001). We deny the petitions for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility finding based on an inconsistency between Bhatti’s declaration, police certificate, and his testimony regarding whether the police had a record of his arrest, and based on his father’s internally inconsistent testimony regarding the extent and timing of threats to Bhatti from Muslim militants.
