Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Gurpreet Singh petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") summary affirmance of the immigration judge's ("IJ") order denying his petition for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Singh also petitions for review of the BIA's denial of his motion to reopen to apply for adjustment of status based on his marriage to an United States citizen. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny both petitions.
The record does not compel a finding that Singh testified credibly. The doctor's note that he provided contradicted his testimony regarding the nature of his injuries while in police custody. Additionally, his testimony contradicted the affidavits he submitted regarding the nature of his political activities.
Because Singh failed to produce any evidence of his motivation for entering the marriage, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh's motion to reopen. The BIA's reasoning was "explained with enough clarity so that we can understand the rationale."
Singh's due process claim based on translation problems fails because he has not shown "that a better translation likely would have made a difference in the outcome." Singh's testimony regarding his injuries was clear, and was not the result of translation problems. Accordingly, we deny the petitions.
PETITIONS DENIED.
