No. 20-1712 17 NAC 18 MERRICK B. GARLAND, United States 19 Attorney General, 20 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 1 FOR PETITIONERS: Gregory Marotta, Law Office of Gregory 2 Marotta, Vernon, NJ. 3 4 FOR RESPONDENT: Bryan Boynton, Acting Assistant Attorney 5 General, Civil Division; Michelle Latour, 6 Deputy Director, Office of Immigration 7 Litigation; Spencer Shucard, Trial Attorney, 8 Office of Immigration Litigation, United 9 States Department of Justice, Washington, 10 DC. 11 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a decision of 12 the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, 13 AND DECREED that the petition for review is DENIED. 14 Petitioners Brixhida Kalluci (“Kalluci”), and her daughters Lorna and Agnes 15 Kalluci, all natives and citizens of Albania, seek review of a May 20, 2020 decision 16 of the BIA affirming a May 4, 2018 decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying 17 Kalluci’s application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the 18 Convention Against Torture (“CAT”), to which she had named Lorna and Agnes 19 as derivative beneficiaries.

We assume the parties’ familiarity with the 22 underlying facts and procedural history. 23 In her brief, Kalluci challenges the IJ’s adverse-credibility finding, which 2 1 was its sole basis for denying her claims for relief. 1 We review an adverse- 2 credibility determination for substantial evidence, Hong Fei Gao v.
