Arsdi

MEMORANDUM

Alazar Getachew Arsdi is a native and citizen of Ethiopia, who is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227 (a)(2)(A)(iii) for having committed an aggravated felony. He petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ denial of his claim for deferral of removal pursuant to the United Nations Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 , and we deny Arsdi’s petition.

“[Administrative findings of fact are conclusive unless any reasonable adjudica tor would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (b)(4)(B) (emphasis added). It was Arsdi’s burden to show “a chance greater than fifty percent that he will be tortured if removed.” Hamoui v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d 821, 827 (9th Cir.2004).

The record in this case does not compel a conclusion that Arsdi will more likely than not be tortured. He has produced some evidence that torture sometimes occurs in Ethiopian prisons. But because he has not even shown that he will more likely than not be detained if returned to Ethiopia, he clearly has not shown that he will more likely than not be tortured.

DENIED.
