Warner Bonilla-Lopez v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Warner Bonilla-Lopez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture *651 (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Arbid v. Holder, 700 F.3d 379, 385-86 (9th Cir. 2012), and we deny the petition for review.

Bonilla-Lopez does not challenge the agency’s dispositive finding that he was convicted of a particularly serious crime. Accordingly, Bonilla-Lopez’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See id. at 385.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because Bonilla-Lopez failed to establish that it is more likely than not he will be tortured by or with the acquiescence of the government of El Salvador. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir. 2008).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
