Singh

MEMORANDUM **

Tajinder Singh petitions for review of the board of immigration appeals’s (“BIA”) order rejecting his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. The BIA affirmed the IJ’s decision without issuing an opinion, so “we review the IJ’s decision as the final agency determination.” Chen v. BIA, 435 F.3d 141, 144 (2d Cir.2006).

We review questions of law de novo and findings of fact for substantial evidence. Brezilien v. Holder, 569 F.3d 403, 404 (9th Cir.2009). “[A]dministrative findings of fact are conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (b)(4)(B). We will uphold the IJ’s credibility determination if it is “supported by a specific, cogent reason.” Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962 (9th Cir.2004). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We deny Singh’s petition.

The facts of this case are known to the parties. We do not repeat them.
