Singh

MEMORANDUM **

Tarsem Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the dismissal by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) of his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of Singh’s applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, Acewicz v. INS, 984 F.2d 1056, 1061 (9th Cir.1993), and we deny the petition for review.

Singh contends that the BIA’s adverse credibility finding was not supported by substantial evidence. We disagree. The BIA noted several significant discrepancies within Singh’s account that go to the heart of his claim for asylum. Thus, the BIA’s finding was supported by substantial evidence. See Ceballos-Castillo v. INS, 904 F.2d 519, 520 (9th Cir.1990).

Singh also contends that the incompetent translation of portions of his testimony denied him due process. Assuming arguendo that a translation of part of his testimony was unreliable, our independent review of the record does not reveal how any errors in translation might have affected his testimony. We therefore reject his due process claim. See Singh…
