Opinion:
' MEMORANDUM
Petitioner Gurdip Singh petitions for review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals ("Board"), denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"), and ordering-him removed from the United States. The BIA affirmed the IJ's denial of Singh's petition on the basis of the IJ's adverse credibility determination, and we review adverse credibility determinations under the REAL ID Act's substantial evidence standard. Ling Huang v. Holder, 744 F.3d 1149, 1152 (9th Cir.2014). Under such standard, the agency's- findings are "conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary." Id. (emphasis added) (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B)).
We are satisfied that substantial evidence, such as Singh's "extremely troubling" demeanor and "frequent nonrespon-sive[ness]," the inconsistencies between his statements and other materials in evidence, and the inherent implausibility of his account, supports the Board's affirmation of the IJ's adverse credibility determination. See Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1040 (9th Cir.2010).
In the absence of credible testimony, Singh's asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003). Singh's CAT claim also fails because it is based on the same testimony found to be not credible. See id. at 1156-57. Singh's petition for review is therefore denied.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
