U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
JUANA AMERICA CASILLAS TORRES, No. 18-70051
Petitioner, Agency No. A200-156-213
v.
MEMORANDUM*
MICHAEL G. WHITAKER, Acting
Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 17, 2018**
Before: WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
Juana America Casillas Torres, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal
from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for asylum,
withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).
*
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).
We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence
the agency’s factual findings. Garcia-Milian v. Holder, 755 F.3d 1026, 1031 (9th
Cir. 2014). We deny the petition.
Casillas Torres does not claim she suffered past persecution, and as to her
fear of future harm, she did not challenge the BIA’s dispositive finding that she
could safely relocate within Mexico. See Sung Kil Jang v. Lynch, 812 F.3d 1187,
1189 n.1 (9th Cir. 2015). Thus, we deny the petition as to her asylum and
withholding of removal claims. See 8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.13(b)(2)(ii), 1208.16(b)(2).
In addition, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Casillas
Torres’s CAT claim because she failed to show that it is more likely than not that
she would be tortured if removed to Mexico. See Delgado-Ortiz v. Holder, 600
F.3d 1148, 1152 (9th Cir. 2010) (“[G]eneralized evidence of violence and crime in
Mexico is not particular to Petitioners and is insufficient to meet this standard.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
