Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 18, 2014**

(“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8

Ren v. Holder, 648 F.3d 1079, 1083 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for
review.
Li does not contend he suffered past persecution in China, but claims he has
a well-founded fear of future persecution because of practice of Falun Gong .
The agency determined Li failed meet his burden of proof for asylum
because he did not provide reasonably available corroborating evidence. The
record does not compel the contrary finding. See Ren, 648 F.3d at 1094; Shrestha
v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1047-48 (9th Cir. 2010) (explaining “[t]he REAL ID Act
expressly permits the agency to require an applicant to provide evidence that
corroborates otherwise credible testimony” and finding, “a reasonable trier of fact
would not be compelled to conclude that corroborating evidence was unavailable”)
(internal quotation marks, citation, and emphasis omitted). We reject Li’s
contention that the IJ engaged in impermissible speculation.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
