MEMORANDUM ***

Petitioner Tadesse Ayleka Ayele petitions for review of an order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) that dismissed his appeal of an immigration judge’s denial of protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) and also denied his motion to remand for an adjustment of status.

Petitioner is not a member of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party (“EPRP”), does not provide financial support for the EPRP, and his name does not appear on any EPRP list. Petitioner also has not suffered harm by or with the acquiescence of the Ethiopian government, nor has he received threats of such harm. Accordingly, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of CAT protection. See Morales v. Gonzales, 478 F.3d 972, 983 (9th Cir. 2007).

The BIA also did not abuse its discretion by denying Petitioner’s motion to remand, as Petitioner was statutorily ineligible for an adjustment of status or a waiver of inadmissibility. See Romero-Ruiz v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2008).

The petition for review is DENIED.
