LORETTA LYNCH, U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A087 486 806
Before KING, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Ying Pan Qhao, a citizen of China, petitions this court for review of the
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing her appeal from
the decision of the immigration judge (IJ) denying her application for asylum,
withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture (CAT) relief. Because
the BIA relied upon the IJ’s decision, this court reviews both the IJ’s decision
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

and the order of the BIA. See Wang v. Holder, 569 F.3d 531, 536 (5th Cir.
2009).
Qhao does not meaningfully challenge the denial of withholding of
removal or of her claim that her due process rights were violated; she therefore
has abandoned these claims. See Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th
Cir. 2003). Qhao’s attempts to explain away the evidentiary inconsistencies,
implausibilities, and lack of detail identified by the IJ do not constitute
substantial evidence compelling the conclusion that she is credible. See Wang,
569 F.3d at 538. Likewise, she fails to show that substantial evidence compels
her entitlement to either asylum or CAT relief. See Zhang v. Gonzales, 432
F.3d 339, 344-45 (5th Cir. 2005). Accordingly, Qhao’s petition for review is
DENIED.
