   MEMORANDUM

1. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) did not abuse its discretion in affirming the Immigration Judge’s discretionary denial of asylum. Substantial evidence supports the conclusion that Avtar Singh had engaged in marriage fraud. Immigration fraud is a proper consideration in a discretionary denial of asylum. Hosseini v. Gonzales, 471 F.3d 953, 957 (9th Cir.2006). The BIA properly weighed this adverse factor alongside all other relevant considerations, including favorable factors such as family reunification. See Kalubi v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1134, 1139 (9th Cir.2004). The denial is thus neither “manifestly contrary to the law [nor] an abuse of discretion.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(D).

2. Singh’s Convention Against Torture (CAT) claim is moot. The BIA granted Singh withholding of removal, the broadest relief that would be available to him under CAT. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(4).
