1Opinion of the Court
CANBY, Circuit Judge:
Santos Carlos Martinez-Sanchez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, seeks review of *1397a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision denying his application for political asylum and withholding of deportation pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(a) and 1253(h). He contends that the BIA applied the wrong standard of proof when it evaluated his asylum claim. He also argues that the BIA’s credibility determination, which led to denial of his request for withholding of deportation, was not supported by substantial evidence. We grant the petition for review.
