U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
WILFREDO SANTOS CAMACHO, No. 19-70573
Petitioner, Agency No. A088-722-031
v.
MEMORANDUM*
MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney
General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 21, 2021**
Before: SILVERMAN, WATFORD, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.
Wilfredo Santos Camacho, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an
immigration judge’s decision denying his application for deferral of removal under
the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
§ 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, applying
the standards governing adverse credibility determinations under the REAL ID
Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the
petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination
based on inconsistencies in Santos Camacho’s testimony as to the circumstances of
his cousin’s murder and which family members reside in Mexico, and
inconsistencies between his testimony and documentary evidence as to his entries
to and departures from the United States. See Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1048 (adverse
credibility determination reasonable under “the totality of the circumstances”).
Santos Camacho’s explanations do not compel a contrary conclusion. See Lata v.
INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir. 2000).
Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s denial of Santos Camacho’s
CAT claim because it was based on the same testimony the agency found not
credible, and Santos Camacho does not point to any other evidence in the record
that compels the conclusion that it is more likely than not he would be tortured by
or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Mexico. See
Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1048-49.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
