Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas Stylianos, Jr. on brief for petitioners.

Sunah Lee, Trial Attorney, Office of Immigration Litigation, U.S. Department of Justice, Michael F. Hertz, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division, and Michelle G. Latour, Assistant Director, on brief for respondent.

Before LYNCH, Chief Judge, SELYA and LIPEZ, Circuit Judges.


LYNCH, Chief Judge.

Sokun Thy Mam and his wife Sopha Heng, both natives and citizens of Cambodia, seek review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") denying their application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). The BIA affirmed the decision of the Immigration Judge ("IJ"), who denied Mam and Heng's application on the basis of an adverse credibility finding. We deny the petition.
