Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ruzanna Gevorgyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition for review.
Gevorgyan has not contested the agency's dispositive finding that she failed to file her asylum application with a reasonable time following any extraordinary or changed circumstances. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996) (issues not supported by argument are deemed waived). Thus, we deny Gevorgyan's petition for review with respect to her asylum claim.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's adverse credibility determination based on, among other findings, Gevor-gyan's implausible testimony that she joined an organization in 1997 to investigate a terrorist act that did not occur until 1999, and the discrepancy between her testimony and her declaration regarding the date of that terrorist act. See Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 964 (9th Cir.2004) (upholding an adverse credibility finding that was supported by substantial evidence and went to the heart of the claim); Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir.2000) (inconsistencies between testimony and documentary evidence supported an adverse credibility finding). In the absence of credible testimony, Gevorgyan's withholding of removal claim fails. See Farah, 348 F.3d at 1156.
Because Gevorgyan's CAT claim is based on the same testimony the agency found not credible, and she points to no other evidence showing it is more likely than not she will be tortured if returned to Armenia, her CAT claim also fails. See id. at 1156-57. We reject Gevorgyan's contention that the agency improperly ana lyzed her claim. See Kamalthas v. INS, 251 F.3d 1279, 1283-84 (9th Cir.2001).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
