U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

CRISTIAN EDUARDO MOLINA-POVER, No. 17-70485
AKA Cristian Molina-Pover,
Agency No. A200-885-242
Petitioner,
v. MEMORANDUM*
WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 2, 2020**
Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.
Cristian Eduardo Molina-Pover, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions
for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his
appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for relief
under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8
*
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).
U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings.
Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny the
petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
Molina-Pover failed to show it is more likely than not he will be tortured by or
with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Honduras. See
Aden v. Holder, 589 F.3d 1040, 1047 (9th Cir. 2009).
We reject as unsupported by the record Molina-Pover’s contentions that the
agency failed to consider record evidence in its analysis of his CAT claim.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
