Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted November 15, 2017**
Before: CANBY, TROTT, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Liany Adlim, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the
Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration
judge’s decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction

under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual
findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility determinations
created by 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 between Adlim’s testimony and documentary evidence as
to the incident in February 2008, and as to her father’s birthplace. See id. at 1048
(adverse credibility finding reasonable under the totality of the circumstances).
Adlim’s explanations for the inconsistencies do not compel a contrary result. See
Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir. 2000). In the absence of credible
testimony, in this case, Adlim’s asylum and withholding of removal claims
fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).
Adlim’s CAT claim fails because it is based on the same testimony the
agency found not credible, and Adlim does not point to any evidence that compels
the finding it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the
consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Indonesia. See id. at
1156-57.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
