Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A79 007 805
--------------------
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Shahbuddin Noor Ali, a native and citizen of Pakistan,
petitions this court for review of the Board of Immigration
Appeals’ (BIA) decision affirming the Immigration Judge’s (IJ)
denial of his applications for withholding of removal and relief
under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Ali contends that
the BIA erred in affirming the IJ’s denial of withholding of
removal and relief under the CAT because he established that he
suffered past persecution and torture and it was more likely than

not that he would be persecuted and tortured if he returned to
Pakistan.
After careful review of the record and the briefs, this
court concludes that the BIA’s determination that Ali is not
eligible for withholding of removal or relief under the CAT is
supported by substantial evidence, and the record does not compel
a contrary conclusion. See Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 903,
906-07 (5th Cir. 2002). Therefore, Ali’s petition for review is
DENIED.
