   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3263
   Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Smith, Circuit Judge and
   Rosenbaum, District Judge]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Because petitioner failed to meet his burden of demonstrating his credibility based on the inconsistencies and implausibility of his testimony and failed to provide corroborating evidence for his persecution claim, his claim for asylum fails; even if the court assumed petitioner was credible and had established prior persecution based on his tribal membership, substantial evidence supported the IJ's determination he had not adequately demonstrated a well-founded fear of persecution in light of the overthrow of the Liberian government and the absence of any evidence that the current government was persecuting members of the Krahn tribe.
