Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Weiping Zhao, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision adopting and affirming an Immigration Judge's ("IJ") order denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Alvarez-Santos v. INS, 332 F.3d 1245, 1254 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition.
The record does not compel the conclusion that the untimely filing of Zhao's asylum application should be excused. See 8 C.F.R. § 208.4(a)(5). Accordingly, we deny the petition as to Zhao's asylum claim.
With regard to Zhao's claims for withholding of removal and CAT relief, substantial evidence supports the IJ's adverse credibility determination because Zhao omitted from his asylum application some of the key harms that he testified precipitated his flight from China and underlie his fear of return. See Alvarez-Santos, 332 F.3d at 1254; Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962-63 (9th Cir.2004). Accordingly, Zhao's withholding of removal and CAT claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156-57 (9th Cir.2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
