MEMORANDUM **

Juan Jose Arias-Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Ecuador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigrations Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for withholding of removal and relief 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), and we deny the petition for review.

As to withholding of removal, even if the evidence compels a finding that the harm in 1994 rose to the level of persecution, the record does not adequately demonstrate a likelihood of future persecution as of the time of the hearing. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) (possibility of future harm “too speculative”).

As to CAT relief, substantial evidence supports the agency’s conclusion that Arias-Gonzalez failed to demonstrate it is more likely than not he would be tortured if returned to Ecuador. See Silaya, 524 F.3d at 1073.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
