Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Sukhwinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming without opinion the denial by an immigration judge (IJ) of his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the adverse credibility finding under the substantial evidence standard and will uphold the decision unless the evidence compels a contrary conclusion. See Singh v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1139, 1143 (9th Cir 2004). We deny the petition.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ's adverse credibility determination. Singh's testimony regarding material events was vague, lacked sufficient detail, and, in several instances, was inconsistent or implausible. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1152-53 (9th Cir.1999). Singh's testimony about the location of his passport, his knowledge of his parents' whereabouts, and the details of his hospital stay, hospital release, and hospital records lacked consistency and specificity. See Kasnecovic v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 812, 815 (9th Cir.2005). The adverse credibility determination is also supported by Singh's failure to produce evidence corroborating his claim. See Unuakhaulu v. Gonzales, 416 F.3d 931, 938 (9th Cir.2005).
Because Singh failed to establish eligibility for asylum, he has necessarily failed to meet the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Movsisian v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1095, 1097 (9th Cir.2005). Singh has also failed to meet the standard for CAT relief. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156-57 (9th Cir.2003); Kamalthas v. INS, 251 F.3d 1279, 1284 (9th Cir.2001).
Pursuant to Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741, 745-46 (9th Cir.2004), Singh's motion for stay of removal is construed to include a timely request for stay of voluntary departure. This stay will expire upon the issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
