 LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,

              Respondent.

                       On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals

                              Submitted June 22, 2015**

Before:        HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

         Martha Calmo Pablo, native and a native and citizen of Guatemala, 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 protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). 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,

1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.

      Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination

based on the inconsistencies regarding when Calmo suffered a miscarriage and

whether she told her parents about a threatening phone call from her attacker. See

id. at 1048 (adverse credibility determination was reasonable under the “totality of

circumstances”). Calmo’s explanations for the inconsistencies do not compel a

contrary result. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir. 2000). Thus, in

the absence of credible testimony, Calmo’s asylum and withholding of removal

claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).

      Finally, Calmo’s CAT claim also fails because it is based on the same

evidence the agency found not credible, and Calmo does not point to any other

evidence that compels the conclusion that it is more likely than not she would be

tortured if returned to Guatemala. See id. at 1156-57.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
