U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-1321
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Murphy and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Adverse credibility findings were
supported by specific, cogent reasons, and the court would defer to the
Immigration Judge's findings; IJ and BIA did not err in requiring
petitioner to corroborate certain parts of her story, specifically the
efforts of a convent to harbor her and help her escape and the publication of
an article in a newspaper; having failed to meet the standard for qualifying
for asylum, petitioner could not meet the higher standard for withholding
of removal; due the adverse credibility findings in her case regarding past
torture, and the absence of evidence compelling the conclusion that she
would be a target upon her return to Cameroon, petitioner failed to meet
the standards for relief under the Convention Against Torture.
