On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency Nos. A098-536-S65 to A098-536-667.
Before: WALLACE, HAWKINS, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Petitioners Enkhbat Arild and Chuluuntsetseeg Shagdar, husband and wife, and their minor child, all natives and citizens of Mongolia, seek review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying their application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d 1482, 1487 (9th Cir. 1997), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA only affirmed the IJ's credibility finding based on petitioners' demeanor during their testimony. Petitioners do not raise any challenge to the dispositive demeanor finding in their opening brief. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir. 1996). Accordingly, we deny the petition.
