    FOR RESPONDENT:               Tony West, Assistant Attorney
                                  General; Linda S. Wernery, Assistant

                                  D.C.
    UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a

Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review

is DENIED.

    Li Qing Qu, a native and citizen of the People’s

Republic of China, seeks review of the August 27, 2010,

order of the BIA affirming the October 23, 2008, decision of

Immigration Judge (“IJ”) Barbara A. Nelson denying her

application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief

under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).     In re Li Qing

Qu, No. A094 939 048 (B.I.A. Aug. 27, 2010), aff’g No. A094

939 048 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Oct. 23, 2008).    We assume the

parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and

procedural history in this case.

    Under the circumstances of this case, we have reviewed

both the BIA’s and IJ’s opinions.   See Yun-Zui Guan v.

Gonzales, 432 F.3d 391, 394 (2d Cir. 2005).     The applicable

standards of review are well-established.     See 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252(b)(4)(B); Xiu Xia Lin v. Mukasey, 534 F.3d 162, 165-

66 (2d Cir. 2008).

    The agency’s adverse credibility determination is based

on substantial evidence given inconsistencies in and among

Qu’s testimony, credible fear interview, and written

                             2
application.   See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii); see also

Xiu Xia Lin, 534 F.3d at 167.       For example, Qu’s testimony

that she was forced to undergo an abortion in December 2007

was inconsistent with the statements in her written

application and credible fear interview that the forced

abortion occurred in December 2006.      Furthermore, she

testified inconsistently as to when the Chinese family

planning officials came to her home, and gave implausible

testimony that, at only one month pregnant, her neighbors

reported her to those officials because her “belly was big.”

    Given these inconsistencies, the agency’s adverse

credibility determination is supported by substantial

evidence, 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii); Xiu Xia Lin, 534

F.3d at 167, and provided an adequate basis for denying Qu’s

application for asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT

relief, see Paul v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d 148, 155-57 (2d Cir.

2006) (noting that, when asylum, withholding of removal, and

CAT relief, are based on the same factual assertions, an

adverse credibility finding regarding those assertions

forecloses all forms of relief).

    For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is

DENIED.
