JUAN P. ALCARAZ-OCHOA, No. 20-73006
Petitioner, Agency No. A076-692-322
v.
MEMORANDUM*
MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney
General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 19, 2021**
Before: SCHROEDER, SILVERMAN, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
Juan P. Alcaraz-Ochoa, a native and citizen of Mexico, 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 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 agency’s factual findings. Conde
Quevedo v. Barr, 947 F.3d 1238, 1241 (9th Cir. 2020). We deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of deferral of removal
under CAT because Alcaraz-Ochoa failed to show it is more likely than not 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). We reject as unsupported by the record Alcaraz-
Ochoa’s contention that the BIA ignored evidence or otherwise erred in its analysis
of his claim.
The temporary stay of removal remains in place until the issuance of the
mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
