Docket

*1 Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, and SILVERMAN and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.

Sandra Jimenez-Esquer, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for relief under the *2 Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Silaya v. Mukasey , 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of Jimenez-Esquer’s CAT claim because Jimenez-Esquer failed to establish it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government of Mexico. See id. at 1073; Zheng v. Holder , 644 F.3d 829, 835-36 (9th Cir. 2011) (claims of possible torture were speculative). We reject her contentions that the agency erred in analyzing her claim.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
