PER CURIAM:

Ana Isabel Bueso and her minor son, natives and citizens of Honduras, petition for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing their appeal from the

immigration judge’s decision denying Bueso’s applications for asylum, withholding of

removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have

thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that substantial evidence supports the

agency’s findings that Bueso did not establish that the Honduran government was unable

or unwilling to protect her from her abuser or that she was a member of her particular social

group. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias,

502 U.S. 478, 481

(1992) (noting that review of factual

findings is for substantial evidence). We further conclude that substantial evidence

supports the agency’s denial of protection under the CAT. Accordingly, we deny the

petition for review.
