asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture
(“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial
evidence factual findings, Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003),
and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination
based on the discrepancies between Dongmo’s declaration and her testimony
regarding when she first noticed the cars following her and her mother, and how
long she lived in hiding with her grandmother after the accident. See Pal v. INS,
204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir. 2000). In the absence of credible testimony,
Dongmo’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah, 348 F.3d at
1156.
Because Dongmo’s CAT claim is based on the same evidence the agency
found not credible, and she points to no other evidence showing it is more likely
than not she will be tortured if returned to Cameroon, her CAT claim also fails.
See id. at 1156-57.
In light of our order dated March 11, 2010, Dongmo’s request for a stay of
removal is moot.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
