MEMORANDUM ***

Bikramjit Singh petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) dismissal of his appeal of the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). 1 We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . Because the BIA adopted the IJ’s decision in its entirety, we review the IJ’s decision. See Abebe v. Gonzales, 432 F.3d 1037, 1040 (9th Cir.2005) (en banc).

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination based on Singh’s inconsistent, implausible, and imprecise testimony. See, e.g., Wang v. INS, 352 F.3d 1250, 1257-58 (9th Cir.2003); Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1043 (9th Cir.2001).

Because the IJ properly determined that Singh was not credible, Singh fails to demonstrate eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

The IJ properly accorded little weight to Singh’s only corroborating documentary evidence…
