United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 13-2249 ___________________________ Mohassan Abubakar lllllllllllllllllllllPetitioner v. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General of the United States lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent ____________ Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ____________ Submitted: April 29, 2014 Filed: May 20, 2014 [Unpublished] ____________ Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and BENTON, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Ghanian citizen Mohassan Abubakar petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals order upholding an immigration judge s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), and cancellation of removal. After careful consideration of the petition, this court finds no basis for reversal. See Hernandez v. Reno, 258 F.3d 806, 812 (8th Cir. 2001) (in removal actions, this court reviews legal issues de novo, and reviews factual findings for substantial evidence; discussing burden of proof for asylum and withholding-of-removal claims); see also Ramirez-Peyro v. Holder, 574 F.3d 893, 895, 899 (8th Cir. 2009) (to establish eligibility for deferral of removal under CAT, applicant had to show that it was more likely than not that he would be tortured by or with acquiescence of government); Zacarias-Velasquez v. Mukasey, 509 F.3d 429, 434 (8th Cir. 2007) (this court lacks jurisdiction to review denial of cancellation of removal for failure to prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship). This court denies the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ -2-
