Description
Zhou Yun Zhang, a citizen of the People's Republic of China, petitions for review of the June 3, 2002 decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA" or "Board") rejecting his claims for asylum and withholding of deportation. In dismissing Zhang's appeal, the BIA agreed with the Immigration Judge ("IJ") who presided over the underlying exclusion hearing that Zhang had "not presented consistent, detailed or credible testimony" to support his claim of persecution based on his opposition to China's family planning policies. In re Zhang, unpublished decision at 2 (B.I.A. June 3, 2002) (hereinafter "BIA Decision"). The BIA concluded that Zhang's testimony, of "limited credibility and lacking in detail, combined with the few [corroborating] documents" offered in evidence, were insufficient to establish eligibility for relief. Id. Zhang submits that neither the adverse credibility finding nor the sufficiency conclusion is supported by substantial evidence. We disagree and, accordingly, deny the petition for review.
