Question: his personal belief that the officer was not lying. The prosecutor stated: "He came in here and told you the truth about what happened" and later reiterated, "This officer didn't commit perjury. He came in here and told you the truth about what happened." This was improper vouching by "placing the prestige of the government behind a witness through personal assurances of the witness's veracity ..." United States v. Necoechea, 986 F.2d 1273, 1276 (9th Cir.1993) (citations omitted). Contrary to the government's assertion, the prosecutor need not invoke the name of the federal government in offering his personal belief it is sufficient that the personal statement of belief came from the government's attorney. See, e.g., Carriger v. Stewart, 132 F.3d 463, 482 (9th Cir.1997) (en banc) (<HOLDING>). Second, the prosecutor vouched for Officer

Question: Petitioner Jaswinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. We have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(1), and we grant the petition for review. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the immigration judge's order without discussion, thus we review the substance of the immigration judge's order. Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845 (9th Cir.2003). The IJ erred when she found Singh's testimony inconsistent and implausible, and therefore the record compels finding Singh's testimony, credible. Kaur v.

Bull Data Systems, 10 F.3d 425, 431 (7th Cir.1993) (upholding district court's dismissal of declaratory judgment action "aimed solely at wresting choice of forum from 'natural' plaintiff); kirkbride v. Continental Cas. Co., 933 F.2d 729, 734-735 (affirming district court's refusal of jurisdiction when party was attempting to use the Declaratory Judgment Act to deprive a plaintiff of his selected forum or encourage a race to judgment); Abor v. Black, 695 S.W.2d 564, 566 (Tex.1985) (<HOLDING>); Space Master Int'l., Inc. v. Portar-Kamp Mfg.
