ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

              Respondent.

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

                       Argued and Submitted April 16, 2013
                            San Francisco, California

Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

       Shagdar Boldmyagmar petitions for review of the decision of the Board of

Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) that affirmed the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”)

decision denying relief. Petitioner’s appeal to the BIA did not raise any issue with

respect to the translation or his ability to understand and participate in the

proceedings. He did not exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to these

contentions. Tall v. Mukasey, 517 F.3d 1115, 1120 (9th Cir. 2008).

      Petitioner did advance a general challenge to the adverse credibility findings,

but those findings are supported by substantial evidence. Specifically, the record

contains numerous inconsistencies, noted by the IJ, concerning the nature and

extent of his political involvement, as well as the conduct of the police. As several

of these inconsistencies go to the heart of Petitioner’s claim, the court must accept

the adverse credibility finding. See Wang v. I.N.S., 352 F.3d 1250, 1259 (9th Cir.

2003).

      Petition for review is DENIED.
