Singh v. Ashcroft

U.S. Courts of Appeals

Decided May 20, 2004

U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2004-05-20

Applies 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (§ 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter))

Relies on Abderrahman Chebchoub v. Immigration and Naturalization Service

Decided 2004-05-20

¶1MEMORANDUM …

¶2Gurmej Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review adverse credibility findings for substantial evidence, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), and we deny the petition for review.

¶3Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility finding because Singh’s inconsistent testimony about the alleged abuse he suffered at the hands of Indian police went to the heart of his asylum and withholding claims. See id. at 1043-44.

¶4PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

¶5 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
