Castro v. Gonzales
Castro v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Elizabeth Del Carmen Castro, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, Cruz-Navarro v. INS, 232 F.3d 1024, 1028 (9th Cir. 2000), we deny the petition for review.
Because the IJ did not make a finding as to Castro’s credibility, we accept her testimony as true. See id.
The record does not compel a finding that Castro established that she was
By failing to raise her claims for withholding of removal and relief under the CAT before the BIA, Castro failed to exhaust those claims and we therefore have no jurisdiction to consider them. See Garcia-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 1066, 1079 n. 5 (9th Cir. 2004).
Castro’s remaining contentions are without merit.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
