MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted May 13, 2014**
Before: CLIFTON, BEA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.
Xinjun Zhu, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board

findings. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny
the petition for review.
Zhu testified he is married and he is the biological father of two children,
and that his wife was sterilized under China’s family planning policies. Substantial
evidence supports the agency’s determination that Zhu failed to sufficiently
corroborate his testimony with reasonably obtainable evidence to meet his burden
of proof for withholding of removal. See id. at 1047-48; Ren v. Holder, 648 F.3d
1079, 1094 (9th Cir. 2011) (record did not compel the finding that petitioner
presented sufficient corroborating evidence to meet his burden of proof). We
reject Zhu’s contention that the BIA mischaracterized the record. Thus, Zhu’s
withholding of removal claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
