from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for protection under
the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 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 deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
Flores-Hidalgo failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by
or with the acquiescence of the government if returned to El Salvador. See Santos-
Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 748 (9th Cir. 2008). Contrary to Flores-
Hidalgo’s contention, the BIA applied the correct standard in assessing his CAT
claim.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
