Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jorge Luis Espilco-Ramirez, a native and citizen of Peru, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his applications for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence findings of fact, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), and de novo claims of constitutional violations, 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 determination based on Espilco-Ramirez's inconsistent testimony with respect to the number of threatening notes he received from the Shining Path and when he began receiving these notes. See Chebchoub, 257 F.3d at 1043 (9th Cir.2001). In the absence of credible testimony, Espilco-Ramirez failed to demonstrate eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).
We reject Espilco-Ramirez's contention that he was deprived of a full and fair hearing. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring error and prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
