evidence the agency’s factual findings, including whether an applicant has met his
burden of proof, Ren v. Holder, 648 F.3d 1079, 1083 (9th Cir. 2011), and we deny
the petition for review.
The agency denied Keliat’s claim for withholding of removal because he
failed to corroborate fundamental aspects of his claim – including, the burning of
his store, his two hospitalizations after beatings, and his report to the police – and
he failed to reasonably explain his failure to do so. Substantial evidence supports
the agency’s denial of withholding of removal. See id. at 1089-94 (upholding
conclusion petitioner failed to meet his burden of proof where he was given notice
of required corroboration and opportunity to obtain the evidence or explain his
failure to do so). We reject Keliat’s contentions that he met his burden of proof
without the corroborating evidence the IJ requested. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1158(b)(1)(B)(ii); 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(C); Ren, 648 F.3d at 1094.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
