Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Adrien Normil's motion to remand proceedings to the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") and to hold the briefing schedule in abeyance (Docket Entry No. 20) is denied.
Normil, a native and citizen of Haiti, petitions for review of the BIA's order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his application for asylum. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility determinations created by the REAL ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-1040 (9th Cir. 2010). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Normil's contentions as to the preparation of his asylum application and the IJ's denial of a continuance. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (petitioner must exhaust claims in administrative proceedings below).
Substantial evidence supports the agency's adverse credibility determination in light of the inconsistencies surrounding the single incident of physical harm that Nor-mil allegedly suffered in Haiti. See Shrestha, 593 F.3d at 1047; Zamanov v. Holder, 649 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir. 2011) (explaining that "inconsistencies regarding events that form the basis of the asylum claim are sufficient to support an adverse credibility determination"). In the absence of credible testimony, in this case, Normil's asylum claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
