Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Teresa Martinez-Ledesma, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying her applications for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l) and (2). 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 the numerous inconsistencies between Martinez-Ledesma's testimony, her witness's testimony, and the record evidence, including discrepancies regarding her initial entry and the time periods in which she was abused. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(4)(B)-(C); see also Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1046-47 ("Although inconsistencies no longer need to go to the heart of the petitioner's claim, when an inconsistency is at the heart of the claim it doubtless is of great weight."). Martinez-Ledesma's explanations for the inconsistencies do not compel a contrary result. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir.2000).
In light of this disposition, we need not reach Martinez-Ledesma's remaining contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
