143559P.pdf   12/23/2015  Sintia Rodriguez-Mercado  v.  Loretta E. Lynch
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3559
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Petition for Review - Immigration. The numerous contradictions and inconsistencies in petitioner's evidence went to the heart of her claim, and the IJ did not err in finding her not credible; the IJ properly used claimant's demeanor to buttress an analysis that, as the BIA explained, satisfied the IJ's obligation to provide specific and cogent reasons to disbelieve claimant's testimony; claimant failed to prove past persecution and that she was a refugee under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1101(a)(42), and the IJ and BIA did not err in denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal and CAT relief; motion for remand to the BIA to seek voluntary departure denied.
