FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
NOE MARTIN CAMPOS-HERNANDEZ, No. 15-70500
Petitioner, Agency No. A095-762-757
v.
MEMORANDUM*
WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted August 19, 2019**
Before: SCHROEDER, PAEZ, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
Noe Martin Campos-Hernandez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an
immigration judge’s decision denying withholding of removal and relief 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,
*
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).
Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Campos-
Hernandez failed to demonstrate a nexus between the harm he fears in Mexico and
a protected ground. See Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1016 (9th Cir. 2010) (an
applicant’s “desire to be free from harassment by criminals motivated by theft or
random violence by gang members has no nexus to a protected ground”). Thus,
Campos-Hernandez’s withholding of removal claim fails.
Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
Campos-Hernandez failed to show it is more likely than not that he would be
tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to
Mexico. See Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1067-68 (9th Cir. 2009) (no
likelihood of torture established).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
