United States First Circuit

Petition for review of denial of application for asylum, withholding of removal, or relief under the Convention Against Torture is denied where critical inconsistencies and a lack of corroborating evidence in petitioner's testimony supported the IJ's adverse credibility finding, and even if deemed credible, petitioner could not show entitlement to relief.
