   MEMORANDUM

Ivo Parichkov, a native and citizen of Bulgaria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility finding based on the inconsistencies between Parichkov’s medical documentation and his testimony about the attacks and injuries he suffered from skinheads. See id. at 1043. Further, because the IJ had reason to question Parichkov’s credibility, his failure to provide corroborating evidence undermines his claim. See id. at 1044-45. In light of our conclusion regarding the agency’s adverse credibility finding, we do not reach Parichkov’s pattern or practice contention. In the absence of credible evidence, Parichkov’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

Because Parichkov’s CAT claim is based on the same evidence that the agency found not credible, and he points to no other evidence showing it is more likely than not he would be tortured if returned to Bulgaria, his CAT claim also fails. See id. at 1156-57.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
