contrary result.” Cui v. Holder, 712 F.3d 1332, 1336 (9th Cir. 2013). Cheng has
presented no evidence that the I-213 form was inaccurate, see Espinoza v. INS, 45
F.3d 308, 310 (9th Cir. 1995), and has not exhausted his claim that the I-826 form
was improperly admitted. See Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1208 (9th Cir.
2009) (en banc). Nor has Cheng established that the immigration judge’s
credibility finding lacked support in the record: “[E]ven a petitioner’s minor
inconsistencies, when aggregated or when viewed in light of the total
circumstances, may undermine credibility.” Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034,
1043 n.4 (9th Cir. 2010).
PETITION DENIED.
