FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
PATRICIA ORTIZ SALINAS, No. 14-74036
Petitioner, Agency No. A092-397-663
v.
MEMORANDUM*
JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney
General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of an
Immigration Judge’s Decision
Submitted December 18, 2017**
Before: WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
Patricia Ortiz Salinas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of
the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) determination under 8 C.F.R. § 1208.31(a) that she
did not have a reasonable fear of persecution or torture and thus is not entitled to
relief from her reinstated removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
*
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).
§ 1252. We review for substantial evidence the IJ’s factual findings. Andrade-
Garcia v. Lynch, 828 F.3d 829, 836 (9th Cir. 2016). We deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s determination that Ortiz Salinas failed
to demonstrate a reasonable possibility of future persecution in Mexico on account
of a protected ground. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1016, 1018 (9th Cir.
2003) (possibility of future persecution “too speculative”).
Substantial evidence also supports the IJ’s determination that Ortiz Salinas
failed to demonstrate a reasonable possibility of torture by or with the consent or
acquiescence of the government of Mexico. See Zheng v. Holder, 644 F.3d 829,
835-36 (9th Cir. 2011) (fear of torture speculative).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
