Anthony Rashiah, S. v. Ashcroft, John (Petitions for Review of Orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals)
Before FLAUM, Chief Judge, and RIPPLE and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.Posted by Marcia Oddi at November 16, 2004 02:08 PM
FLAUM, Chief Judge. Petitioners George Malcom Anthony
Rashiah, his wife Salomi, and their daughter Anne, petition
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
(“BIA”) denying their applications for asylum and withholding
of removal. For the reasons stated herein, we affirm the
decision of the BIA. * * *Our review of the record leads us to agree with the IJ and
BIA that petitioner has failed to show that it is more likely
than not that he will be subjected to torture if removed to
Sri Lanka. The BIA’s order applies the correct legal standard
and its denial of withholding of removal under CAT is in
accord with the evidence presented.III. Conclusion. The order of the BIA is AFFIRMED.
