Paz Magallanes v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Franklin Gross-Bravo, a native and citizen of Nicaragua, 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. § 1252 . See Alphonsus v. Holder, 705 F.3d 1031, 1036-37 (9th Cir.2013); Arteaga v. Mukasey, 511 F.3d 940 , 942 n. 1 (9th Cir.2007). We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2006), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because Gross-Bravo 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 Nicaragua. See Blandino-Medina v. Holder, 712 F.3d 1338, 1348 (9th Cir.2013) (petitioner failed to establish a clear probability of torture if returned to Nicaragua).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
