MEMORANDUM **

Alejandro Cordero-Ponce, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the factual findings underlying the agency’s determination that an applicant is not eligible for CAT protection, Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Cordero-Ponce’s CAT claim because he failed to show it is more likely than not that he will be tortured if returned to Mexico. See Zheng v. Holder, 644 F.3d 829, 835-36 (9th Cir. 2011) (claim of possible torture speculative).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
