                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted May 13, 2014**

Before:        CLIFTON, BEA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

       Narendra Kumar, a native and citizen of India, 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”). Our jurisdiction is

governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s

factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility

determinations created by the REAL ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034,

1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for

review.

      Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination

based on the inconsistencies in the record regarding the city Kumar lived in, and

who attacked him in 2009, and based on Kumar’s evasive testimony. See id. at

1048 (adverse credibility determination was reasonable under the totality of

circumstances). We reject Kumar’s contention that the inconsistencies were trivial.

Further, Kumar’s explanations do not compel the opposite result. See Lata v. INS,

204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir. 2000). We lack jurisdiction to consider Kumar’s

contentions regarding interpretation problems at his hearing. See Barron v.

Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (no jurisdiction over issues not raised

in administrative proceedings below). In the absence of credible testimony,

Kumar’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft,

348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).

      Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Kumar’s CAT

claim because, even if credible, Kumar failed to establish that it is more likely than

not he would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the Indian

government. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1074 (9th Cir. 2008). The

record does not support Kumar’s contention that the IJ ignored evidence.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
