Docket

*1 Before: SILVERMAN, TALLMAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Isabel Estaban Gamez-Valenzuela, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for protection 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. Go v. Holder , 640 F.3d 1047, 1052 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Gamez-Valenzuela’s CAT claim because he failed to establish it is more likely than not that he would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Mexico. See id. at 1054 (country reports and testimony insufficient to compel conclusion that petitioner was more likely than not to be tortured).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
