MEMORANDUM **
Robert Darabedyan, a native and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and for relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), and we deny the petition.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination based on an inconsistency between petitioner’s testimony and a State Department report regarding the leader of his political party, an inconsistency between his testimony and documentary evidence regarding his medical treatment, and a finding that his testimony was vague and lacking in detail regarding his activities for his political party. See id. at 1043-45.
Because petitioner fails to demonstrate that he is eligible for asylum, it follows that he did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).
*309Substantial evidence also supports the denial of relief under CAT. See id. at 1157.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
