U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
LUIS GONZALO FLORES-SOLIS, No. 15-70957
Petitioner, Agency No. A011-323-102
v.
MEMORANDUM*
JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney
General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted August 9, 2017**
Before: SCHROEDER, TASHIMA, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Luis Gonzalo Flores-Solis, 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 his application for deferral of removal 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, Silaya v.
Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
Flores-Solis failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or
with the consent or acquiescence of the Mexican government. See id. at 1073;
Zheng v. Holder, 644 F.3d 829, 835-36 (9th Cir. 2011) (finding that the petitioner’s
claims of possible torture were speculative and therefore did not compel reversal).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
