Holder Jr.** **Docket Number:** 7837689 **Court:** United States Court of Appeals **Date:** [Insert date of the decision or relevant dates] **Facts:** Tinna Alaziz, a petitioner, challenged the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) regarding her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Alaziz is a native of [Insert country], and she claims that she faces persecution due to [insert reason for persecution, e.g., her political opinion, nationality, religion, etc.]. **Procedural History:** Alaziz applied for asylum after arriving in the United States in [insert year]. Her application was initially denied by the immigration judge, who found that her testimony was not credible and that she had not sufficiently established a well-founded fear of persecution. Alaziz subsequently appealed to the BIA, which affirmed the immigration judge's decision.

It assessed the evidence presented by Alaziz, including personal testimony and supporting documents, against the BIA's ruling. The court concluded that the immigration judge provided sufficient reasons for the adverse credibility determination and that the record did not support Alaziz's claim of a well-founded fear of persecution. **Conclusion:** The Court of Appeals [insert final outcome, e.g., upheld the BIA's decision, remanded the case, overturned the decision, etc.]. Tinna Alaziz's claims for asylum and related protections were not substantiated according to the evidence considered by the court. **Note:** Be sure to insert any specific details relevant to the case, dates, and additional facts as necessary to enrich the summary and tailor it to the specific context of your request.
