FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MAY 19 2014 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT WARNER BONILLA-LOPEZ, a.k.a. Wilver Bonilla, No. 12-73379 Agency No. A200-248-291 Petitioner, MEMORANDUM* v. ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted May 13, 2014** Before: CLIFTON, BEA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges. Warner Bonilla-Lopez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, 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 * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Arbid v. Holder, 700 F.3d 379, 385-86 (9th Cir. 2012), and we deny the petition for review. Bonilla-Lopez does not challenge the agency s dispositive finding that he was convicted of a particularly serious crime. Accordingly, Bonilla-Lopez s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See id. at 385. Substantial evidence supports the agency s denial of CAT relief because Bonilla-Lopez failed to establish that it is more likely than not he will be tortured by or with the acquiescence of the government of El Salvador. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir. 2008). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 12-73379
