The following excerpt is from Singh v. Lynch, 14-4272 NAC (2nd Cir. 2016):
The agency reasonably relied on Singh's demeanor, noting that his testimony was often unresponsive. See 8 U.S.C. 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii); see also Majidi v. Gonzales, 430 F.3d 77, 81 n.1 (2d Cir. 2005). That finding is supported by the record.
