On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Before: NOONAN and IKUTA, Circuit Judges, and DANIEL, Senior District

removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). The second
denies Purevdoo’s motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §
1252. We deny both petitions.
We review for substantial evidence the BIA’s determination that a petitioner
is ineligible for asylum. See Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1012 (9th Cir.
2010). An adverse credibility finding is also reviewed for substantial evidence.
See Singh v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 1164, 1168 (9th Cir. 2004). We conclude that
substantial evidence supports the BIA’s affirmance of the IJ’s adverse credibility
finding. Purevdoo did not offer credible evidence in support of his asylum
application.
We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s ruling on a motion to reopen.
See Rodriguez-Lariz v. INS, 282 F.3d 1218, 1222 (9th Cir. 2002). We conclude
that the BIA did not abuse its discretion. Purevdoo did not show that the correctly
translated medical document would have changed the result of his case. Purevdoo
therefore did not show prejudice from any deficiency by his former attorney, and
his due process rights were not violated.
PETITION DENIED.
