R.K.N. v. Holder, Jr., No. 12-1260 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePetitioner, a native of Kenya, petitioned for review of the BIA's decision denying him asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Because the BIA specifically incorporated the IJ's adequate findings and specifically foreclosed petitioner's additional arguments from affecting the outcome, the BIA did not err in affirming the IJ's decision; the BIA did not err in rejecting petitioner's evidentiary contention that the BIA erred by failing to address the admissibility of medical records; and the BIA did not engage in improper factfinding. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review.
Court Description: Petition for Review - Immigration. The Immigration Judge gave specific, cogent reasons for an adverse credibility finding and the BIA and IJ did not ignore petitioner's argument concerning his medical condition; evidentiary argument rejected; BIA did not err in affirming the IJ's decision and did not engage in improper factfinding.
