MOLLY C. DWYER, CLER K U.S. COURT OF APPEAL S2

(CAT). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a), and we deny the petition. 1
Petitioner contends that the IJ and BIA erred in finding he was not credible. If the IJ offers specific, cogent reasons for any stated disbelief and if those reasons are supported by substantial eviden ce, the Court must affirm. See Gui v. INS , 280 F.3d 1217, 1225 (9th Cir. 2002). The IJ found that Petitioner failed to report the most serious incident of harm until his hearing, despite previous opportunities to
do so

. See Zamanov v. Holder , 649 F.3d 9 69, 972 (9th Cir. 2011)

. The IJ also found that Petitioner offered inconsistent testimony regarding this incident. See
Shrestha v. Holder , 590 F

. 3d 1034 , 1046

– 47 (9th Cir. 2010)

. The IJ further found that Petitioner suffered only minor injuries in the first alleged incident and escaped harm altogether in the final incident. The IJ’s perspective is reasonable and supported by the record. See Afriyie v. Holder , 613 F.3d 924, 931 (9th Cir. 2010) (“We grant the petition only if the evidence compels a contrary conclusion from that adopted by the BIA.”). Although Rahman assuredly suffered past harm in Bangladesh, he has no t shown that his experiences “evince actions so severe as to

c ompel a finding of past persecution.” Hoxha v. Aschroft , 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2003) ; see also Prasad v. INS , 47 F.3d 336, 339 (9th Cir. 1995 )

returns to Ba ngladesh. 8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(b)(2)(i). Moreover, t he IJ found that Rahman could reasonably relocate within Bangladesh to avoid future persecution
and Rahman has not adduce d evidence that compels a contrary conclusion. See Kaiser v. Ashcroft , 390 F.3d 65 3, 659 (9th Cir. 2004). Therefore, we deny the petition as to Rahman’s application for asylum

. For similar reasons, Rahman has not met the threshold for withholding of removal. Rahman failed to produce evidence sufficient to compel a finding that he
suffered past persecution or that there is “a ‘clear probability’ that [his] life or freedom would be threatened in the proposed coun try of removal.” Lanza v. Ashcroft , 389 F.3d 917, 933 (9th Cir. 2004) (quoting INS v. Stevic , 467 U.S. 407, 413 (1984)). We also deny the petition as to Rahman’s request for relief under the CAT. The record does not compel the conclusion that Rahman would more likely than not suffer torture in Bangladesh “at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity.”
