MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 24, 2013**
Before: ALARCÓN, CLIFTON, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Guihua Gu, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board
of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s
decision denying his application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have
jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the

agency’s factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility
determinations created by the Real ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034,
1039 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The agency concluded Gu was not credible for a number of reasons,
including the implausibility that Gu - whose claim rested on his purported
confrontations with government officials over compensation for demolished
properties - would not bother to inquire whether the government had ultimately
compensated landowners, his general testimony that lacked detail, and the
inconsistencies and implausibilities related to his employment. Substantial
evidence supports the agency’s finding. See id. at 1048 (adverse credibility finding
reasonable under totality of the circumstances). We reject Gu’s contention that the
agency did not give his documentary evidence adequate weight. Accordingly,
Gu’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348
F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
