applying the standards created by the REAL ID Act. Ren v. Holder, 648 F.3d
1079, 1083-84 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Zhu failed to
present sufficiently detailed and consistent testimony, or reasonably available
corroboration, to meet his burden of proof for asylum. See id. at 1093-94
(denying petition where asylum applicant failed to provide corroborative evidence
requested by the IJ or explain why he could not do so). Thus, Zhu’s asylum claim
fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
