Opinion

No. 13-71764

JOSE L. ANGUIANO, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A077-960-868 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: TASHIMA, OWENS, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Jose L. Anguiano, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his application for deferral of removal 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, Zheng v. Ashcroft, 332 F.3d 1186, 1193 (9th. Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ's finding that Anguiano failed to show it is more likely than not that he would be tortured by or at the instigation of, or with the consent or acquiescence of, a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. See Delgado-Ortiz v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148, 1152 (9th Cir. 2010) (denying relief under CAT where only "general evidence of violence and crime" was presented); see also Dhital v. Mukasey, 532 F.3d 1044, 1051-52 (9th Cir. 2008) (concluding the evidence did not indicate a particularized threat of torture to petitioner). Thus, petitioner's claim for relief under CAT fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
