OSHODI V. HOLDER

9th Circuit

Oshodi v. Holder (9th Circuit, January 26, 2012)
RAWLINSON, O’Scannlain, Cowen

Summary: The Ninth Circuit affirmed the agency’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal and CAT relief based on an adverse credibility determination against the Nigerian petitioner and his failure to produce corroborating evidence. The Ninth Circuit had previously remanded the case for consideration of the REAL ID Act’s impact on the IJ’s findings and found that the BIA’s subsequent decision satisfied the mandate on remand.
