Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

Shagdar Boldmyagmar petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) that affirmed the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying relief. Petitioner’s appeal to the BIA did not raise any issue with respect to the translation or his ability to understand and participate in the proceedings. He did not exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to these contentions. Tall v. Mukasey, 517 F.3d 1115, 1120 (9th Cir.2008).

Petitioner did advance a general challenge to the adverse credibility findings, but those findings are supported by substantial evidence. Specifically, the record contains numerous inconsistencies, noted by the IJ, concerning the nature and extent of his political involvement, as well as the conduct of the police. As several of these inconsistencies go to the heart of Petitioner’s claim, the court must accept the adverse credibility finding. See Wang v. I.N.S., 352 F.3d 1250, 1259 (9th Cir. 2003).

Petition for review is DENIED.
