U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1155
Agency
Petition for Review - immigration. Immigration judge's adverse
credibility findings were based on specific, cogent reasons, and were
entitled to deference; petitioner failed to meet her burden of proof with
respect to a well-founded fear of future persecution; petitioner failed to
produce credible evidence of past torture, and the IJ did not err in denying
her claims under the Convention Against Torture.
