081530P.pdf   01/28/2009  Josephine Kemunto Manani  v.  Michael B. Mukasey
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1530
   Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit
   Judges]
   Petition for Review - immigration. Court lacks jurisdiction to review
   BIA's determination that Manani was statutorily ineligible for asylum.
   Substantial evidence supports decision denying withholding of removal
   based on membership in social group composed of Kenyan widows
   opposed to wife inheritance and to the performance of FGM on their
   daughters, as immigration judge gave adequate explanation for adverse
   credibility determination and a reasonable adjudicator would not be
   compelled to reach a contrary conclusion. Unexplained inconsistencies
   go to heart of claims. Denial of claim concerning future persecution on
   account of HIV-positive status in Kenya is also supported by substantial
   evidence.
