Djadjou v. Holder, Jr.

Petitioner, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitioned for review of the BIA's decision to affirm the IJ's denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Petitioner asserted that the BIA erred in making an adverse credibility determination and, even if it did not so err, independent evidence existed to establish past persecution. The court upheld the adverse credibility determination as supported by substantial evidence and agreed with the BIA that petitioner failed to provide sufficient independent evidence establishing past persecution. Accordingly, the petition was denied.
