United States Ninth Circuit

Philippine native's petition for review from a denial of her application for asylum and withholding of removal is denied where: 1) substantial evidence supported the denial of asylum and withholding of removal as the IJ cited cogent and factually supported reasons to doubt petitioner's credibility, and those reasons struck at the heart of her claim; 2) a due process claim, based on an IJ's alleged bias, failed; 3) a claim that the BIA must grant more than 30 days for voluntary departure after the IJ had granted her 90 days, was meritless.
