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

Before: THOMPSON, T.G. NELSON, and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

David Singui, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge's ("IJ") denial of his request for asylum and withholding of deportation pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(a) and 1253(h). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a) and we deny the petition for review.

Singui contends that the IJ erred by finding his testimony at the hearing not credible. We disagree. There was substantial

Because Singui failed to demonstrate eligibility for asylum, he has also failed to satisfy the higher standard of "clear probability of persecution" required for withholding of deportation. See Aruta v. INS, 80 F.3d 1389, 1396 (9th Cir. 1996).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
