   MEMORANDUM

Maninder Kaur, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the BIA’s decision, Shah v. INS, 220 F.3d 1062, 1067 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA’s and IJ’s adverse credibility findings are supported by substantial evidence, as Kaur testified inconsistently to events central to her claim. See Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962-63 (9th Cir. 2004). In addition, the BIA and IJ properly found that Kaur failed to provide

corroboration to support contradictory evidence regarding her identity and to supplement her lack of knowledge about her family’s history of problems with the police. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003); see also Sidhu v. INS, 220 F.3d 1085, 1089-92 (9th Cir. 2000). Finally, the BIA and IJ properly explained how Kaur’s demeanor detracted from her credibility. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1151 (9th Cir.1999).

In the absence of credible evidence, Kaur has failed to show eligibility for asylum or withholding of removal. See Fa-rah, 348 F.3d at 1156. Because Kaur’s claims under CAT are based on the same facts that the BIA and IJ found to be not credible, and Kaur points to no other evidence the BIA and IJ should have considered, she has failed to establish that the record compels eligibility for relief under CAT. See id. at 1157.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
