Docket

*1 Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

Mexican citizen Juan Carlos Jacinto-Vazquez petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals adopting the decision of an immigration judge *2 denying withholding of removal, and denying relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). [2] After careful consideration, we conclude substantial evidence supports the denials. Jacinto-Vazquez failed to establish a clear probability that his life or freedom would be threatened in Mexico because of his membership in a particular social group, and failed to establish he was entitled to CAT relief. See De Castro-Gutierrez v. Holder , 713 F.3d 375, 381-82 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard for granting CAT relief); Davila-Mejia v. Mukasey , 531 F.3d 624, 627, 629 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review; withholding requirements).

The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

______________________________

[1] Jefferson B. Sessions, III is substituted for his predecessor pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c).

[2] The rulings determining that Jacinto-Vazquez had not timely filed his asylum application or shown circumstances to excuse his untimeliness are not before us in this petition for review. -2-
