MA3-03603

Claim rejected because the claimant's testimony and documents were found materially inconsistent and implausible, he failed to demonstrate that state protection in Mexico is unavailable or that he exhausted reasonable remedies, and an internal flight alternative exists; thus he is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
