MEMORANDUM **

Lucia Duarte-Moreira, a native and citizen of Nicaragua, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and 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, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.

In her asylum application Duarte-Mor-eira stated she and her family were harmed by Sandinistas over 20 years ago. Duarte-Moreira testified she came to the United States in 2005 for economic reasons only, and that she does not want to live with the father of her children if she returns to Nicaragua, but that she could return and live with her mother and children. Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that she failed to meet her burden of proof to establish eligibility for asylum. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1); see also Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1015 (9th Cir. 2010) (setting forth requirements for establishing eligibility for asylum). Contrary to Duarte-Mor-eira’s contentions, the record does not compel the contrary finding. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481-88, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). Consequently, her asylum claim fails.

Because Duarte-Moreira failed to establish eligibility for asylum, her withholding of removal claim necessarily fails. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2006).

Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Duarte-Moreira’s CAT claim because she failed to demonstrate it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official in Nicaragua. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir. 2008).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
