MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 29, 2010**
Before: ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Yanjuan Chen, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the

immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum. We have

agency’s factual findings, applying the new 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.
The BIA found Chen not credible for several reasons, including concerns
with Chen’s demeanor, inconsistencies within Chen’s testimony about her entry
into the United States, and an inconsistency between her testimony and asylum
application regarding whether authorities summoned her after they released her
from detention. In light of these findings, substantial evidence supports the
agency’s adverse credibility determination. See id. at 1040-44 (adverse credibility
determination was reasonable under the Real ID Act’s “totality of the
circumstances”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
