PORTILLO,
Agency No. A099-534-118
Petitioner,
v. MEMORANDUM *
JEFF B. SESSIONS, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted February 14, 2017**
Before: GOODWIN, FARRIS, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.
Roxana Del Carmen Sanchez de Portillo, a native and citizen of El Salvador,
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 withholding of removal and protection under the Convention
*
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).
Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We
review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Silaya v. Mukasey,
524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008). We dismiss in part and deny in part the
petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Sanchez de Portillo’s challenges to the IJ’s
denial of her withholding of removal claim because she failed to exhaust this issue
on appeal to the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir.
2004). Thus, we dismiss the petition for review as to Sanchez de Portillo’s
withholding of removal claim.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of CAT relief because
Sanchez de Portillo failed to demonstrate it is more likely than not she would be
tortured by the government of Salvador, or with its consent or acquiescence, if
returned. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2); Silaya, 524 F.3d at 1073. We reject her
contention that the BIA failed to consider evidence. Thus, we deny the petition for
review as to Sanchez de Portillo’s CAT claim.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
