MEMORANDUM **
Sirak Deneke Anagaw, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 992 (9th Cir.2003), and deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility finding because Anagaw’s testimony was inconsistent with the country reports regarding key elements of his asylum application, including his identity and his claim that he was persecuted on account of his political opinion. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003) (upholding adverse credibility finding where inconsistencies went to key elements of the asylum application, including identity and membership in a persecuted group).
Because Anagaw did not present credible testimony to satisfy his burden of proof regarding his identity, he did not establish eligibility for asylum, withholding of removal or relief under the Convention. See id. at 1156-57.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
