MEMORANDUM **

Romulo Flores-Hidalgo, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying *705 his application for protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because Flores-Hidalgo failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or with the acquiescence of the government if returned to El Salvador. See Santos-Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 748 (9th Cir. 2008). Contrary to Flores-Hidalgo’s contention, the BIA applied the correct standard in assessing his CAT claim.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
