Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ofelya Maloyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") decision affirming the immigration judge's ("IJ") denial of her application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We dismiss in part and deny in part.
Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3), we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction Maloyan's asylum claim because the IJ determined, and the BIA affirmed, that the asylum application was untimely. See Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812, 815 (9th Cir.2001).
We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 to review the denial of the withholding of removal and CAT claims, and we review adverse credibility determinations for substantial evidence. See Hakeem, 273 F.3d at 816. We conclude that substantial evidence supports the IJ's adverse credibility determination because the record reflects that Maloyan's testimony was inconsistent and implausible with regard to her fear of persecution in Armenia. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1152-53 (9th Cir.1999).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review of the withholding of removal claim because a reasonable fact finder would not be compelled to conclude that Maloyan is credible. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).
Because Maloyan's CAT claim is based on the same facts that have been found incredible, we deny the petition for review of the CAT claim. See id. at 1157.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
