United States Second Circuit

Denial of application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture is affirmed over claims that the IJ's adverse credibility finding is not supported by substantial evidence since the IJ erroneously resorted to speculation and conjecture when assessing the evidence, and since any inconsistencies relied upon by the IJ are immaterial and easily and reasonably explained.
