MEMORANDUM **

Ranjeet Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision that affirmed the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).

The IJ found Singh not credible because there was a date correction on three of the affidavits submitted in support of his claim. Because “typographical errors cannot properly serve as the basis for an adverse credibility finding,” this finding is not supported by substantial evidence. See Shah v. INS, 220 F.3d 1062, 1068 (9th *678 Cir.2000) (internal quotation marks omitted).

In addition, the IJ found Singh not credible because his testimony was inconsistent with supporting documentation regarding the first initial in his doctor’s name. Because minor inconsistencies are insufficient to support an adverse credibility finding, this finding is not supported by substantial evidence. See Mendoza Manimbao v. Ashcroft,…
