Heading: Application to Weng

Text: 16 Applying § 1252(f)(2)'s standard, 11 we conclude that Weng has failed to provide clear and convincing evidence that his removal order is prohibited as a matter of law. He argues primarily that the BIA erred in rejecting his asylum application based on its finding of inconsistencies in his version of events. Weng first explains that he offered contradictory testimony about a key event that led to his exit from China because he was only 17 years old at the time of the event. And he asserts that he could not explain why his Chinese government ID card he offered as evidence at his hearing was dated after he left China only because he did not have time to authenticate it. 17 We do not find either of these credibility arguments sufficient to warrant a stay of deportation. Thus, we deny Weng's motion for stay pending his removal. This decision, of course, does not decide the merits of Weng's case, and nothing we state prejudices his ability to advance any of the claims asserted in his petition for review. 18 DENIED.
