MEMORANDUM **

Juan Jose Huaraca-Martin, a native and citizen of Peru, 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 (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Nahrvani v. Gonzales, 399 F.3d 1148, 1151 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

The record does not compel the conclusion that Huaraca-Martin established changed circumstances to excuse his untimely asylum application. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a)(4); Toj-Culpatan v. Holder, 612 F.3d 1088, 1091-92 (9th Cir. 2010). The agency did not err in its analysis of whether Huaraca-Martin demonstrated changed or extraordinary circumstances. See Carrillo-Gonzalez v. INS, 353 F.3d 1077, 1079 (9th Cir. 2003) (attorney’s arguments are not evidence).

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s conclusion that Huaraca-Martin did not establish past persecution from the Shining Path. See Nahrvani, 399 F.3d at 1154 (record did not compel the conclusion that petitioner’s past harm constituted persecution). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s conclusion that Huara-ca-Martin failed to establish it is more likely than not he will be persecuted if returned to Peru. See Mansour v. Ashcroft, 390 F.3d 667, 673 (9th Cir. 2004) (record did not demonstrate that petitioner had an objectively reasonable fear of future persecution). Thus, Huaraea-Martin’s withholding of removal claim fails.

Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because Huaraca-Martin failed to establish it is more likely than not he will be tortured with the consent or acquiescence of the government of Peru. See Aden v. Holder, 589 F.3d 1040, 1047 (2009); Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1067-68 (9th Cir. 2009) (no likelihood of torture).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
