Docket

*1 Before: O’SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

Sergio Jacobo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. *2 § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Garcia- Milian v. Holder , 755 F.3d 1026, 1031 (9th Cir. 2014), and review de novo due process claims, Zetino v. Holder , 622 F.3d 1007, 1011 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Jacobo failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiesce of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity if returned to Mexico. See Garcia-Milian , 755 F.3d 1026, 1034 (9th Cir. 2014) (“[a] government does not acquiesce in the torture of its citizens merely because it is aware of torture but powerless to stop it”) (internal quotation and citation omitted). Thus, we reject Jacobo’s contention that the BIA’s denial of his CAT claim violated his due process rights. See Lata v. INS , 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
