PAMELA BONDI, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted November 12, 2025***
Before: SCHROEDER, RAWLINSON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.
Ana Beatriz Orellana Rivas and her child, natives and citizens of El
Salvador, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order
* The clerk will update the docket to include A. J. C. O., A209-978-948, as a petitioner. ** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. *** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their
application for asylum and denying Orellana Rivas’s applications for 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. Arrey v. Barr, 916 F.3d 1149, 1157 (9th Cir. 2019). We
deny the petition for review.
Petitioners do not challenge the agency’s adverse credibility determination
and it is dispositive of petitioners’ asylum claim, and Orellana Rivas’s withholding
of removal claim. See Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder, 706 F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir.
2013). Therefore, we do not address petitioners’ arguments in the opening brief
regarding the merits of the asylum and withholding claims.
Orellana Rivas also does not challenge the agency’s determination that she
failed to show it is more likely than not she will be tortured by or with the consent
or acquiescence of the government if returned to El Salvador. Therefore, the CAT
claim also fails. Id.
The temporary stay of removal remains in place until the mandate issues.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
