§ 1252. See Alphonsus v. Holder, 705 F.3d 1031, 1036-37 (9th Cir. 2013);
Arteaga v. Mukasey, 511 F.3d 940, 942 n.1 (9th Cir. 2007). We review for
substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d
1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
Gross-Bravo failed to establish it is more likely than not that he would be tortured
by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Nicaragua.
See Blandino-Medina v. Holder, 712 F.3d 1338, 1348 (9th Cir. 2013) (petitioner
failed to establish a clear probability of torture if returned to Nicaragua).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
