MEMORANDUM **

Elelta Estifanos Berhe, a native of Eritrea and citizen of Canada, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Rahimzadeh v. Holder, 613 F.3d 916, 920 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review.

Berhe does not challenge the BIA’s dis-positive finding that her asylum application was untimely and that no exception to the one-year deadline applied. See Rizk v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n. 3 (9th Cir. 2011) (issues not raised in opening brief are waived).

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Berhe failed to establish the government of Canada was unwilling or unable to protect her from her ex-husband. See Rahimzadeh, 613 F.3d at 920 (applicant bears the burden of establishing that abuse was committed by the government or an agent the government is unwilling or unable to control). Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s determination that Berhe failed to establish it is more likely than not she would be persecuted in Canada. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) (possibility of future persecution too speculative). We reject Berhe’s contention that the agency did not consider her statements. Thus, Berhe’s withholding of removal claim fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
