Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Gloria Emilia Arango Maldonado and Hilda Rebeca Arango Maldonado, natives and citizens of Guatemala, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying their application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence adverse credibility findings, Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 937 n. 2 (9th Cir.2000), and review de novo due process claims, Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's adverse credibility finding that rested on material inconsistencies in the Arango Maldonados' testimony and between them testimony and Gloria's application. See Pal, 204 F.3d at 938; see also Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 964 (9th Cir.2004) (upholding adverse credibility finding where at least one of the IJ's identified grounds was supported by substantial evidence and went to the heart of petitioner's claim of persecution). Accordingly, the Arango Maldonados failed to establish eligibility for asylum or withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).
We reject the Arango Maldonados' contention that the agency denied them due process by admitting notes from an asylum officer into the record because they have not shown prejudice. See Colmenar, 210 F.3d at 971.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
