Fofana v. Holder, Jr., No. 11-3870 (8th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePetitioner, a native and citizen of the Republic of Guinea, petitioned for review of the BIA's decision affirming the IJ's denial of petitioner's application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). The IJ denied petitioner's applications based on an adverse credibility finding. The court concluded that the IJ considered all of the evidence presented and its decision was supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative information from the record as a whole. The inconsistencies and discrepancies noted by the IJ in this case were not minor or peripheral. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review.
Court Description: Petition for Review - Immigration. The IJ's credibility determinations were supported by cogent reasons and petitioner's disagreements with these findings did not create a due process issue or a violation of petitioner's constitutional rights; denial of asylum, withholding of removal and CAT relief affirmed, and the petition is denied.
