MEMORANDUM **

Jacob Ikeokwu-Onymaechi, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order sustaining the government’s appeal from an immigration judge’s order granting his application for deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Lemus-Galvan v. Muka-sey, 518 F.3d 1081, 1084 (9th Cir. 2008). Reviewing for substantial evidence the BIA’s factual findings, Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s holding that Ikeokwu-Onymaechi failed to meet his burden of showing that he more likely than not would be tortured upon removal to Nigeria. See Arteaga v. Muka-sey, 511 F.3d 940, 948-49 (9th Cir. 2007).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
