Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jun Li, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We have jurisdiction under 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 (9th Cir.2010). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's adverse credibility determination based on discrepancies between Li's written statement and testimony regarding whether Li was present when the police were asked to "punish" Mr. Wang, whether Li was a witness in court for Mr. Wang, and whether the police officers who came to arrest him were uniformed or plain-clothed, as well as the omission from Li's written statement that hooligans attacked him. See id. at 1048 (the adverse credibility determination was reasonable under the totality of the circumstances). We reject Li's contention that the inconsistencies are minor. See id. at 1046. The agency also did not err in giving Li's documentary evidence limited weight. See Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d 735, 739 (9th Cir.2007) (per curiam). In the absence of credible evidence, Li's asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).
Finally, Li's CAT claim also fails because it is based on the same evidence the agency found not credible, and he points to no other evidence showing it is more likely than not he will be tortured if returned to China. See id. at 1156-57.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
