The Honorable Paul L. Friedman, Senior District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, sitting by designation.
--------
Shuxin Li petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding the denial by an immigration judge of Li's applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 and deny the petition for review.
1. The denial of Li's asylum application was supported by substantial evidence, including a forensic document examiner's testimony that a purported Chinese arrest notice submitted by Li was prepared on the same printer as documents seized during a raid of a Los Angeles "document mill." Substantial evidence also supported the IJ's determination that Li's testimony that his wife mailed the arrest notice to him from China was not credible.
2. Because Li did not establish eligibility for asylum, his applications for withholding of removal and CAT protection were also appropriately denied. See Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 971 (9th Cir. 1998).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
