thus is not entitled to relief from her reinstated removal order. We have
jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. See Martinez v. Sessions, No. 14-70339, 2017
WL 4552543 (9th Cir. Oct. 12, 2017). We review for substantial evidence the IJ’s
factual findings, Andrade-Garcia v. Lynch, 828 F.3d 829, 833 (9th Cir. 2016), and
we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that Tokramadzhyan failed
to establish a reasonable possibility of future persecution in Armenia on account of
a protected ground. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1185 (9th Cir. 2003)
(to qualify for withholding of removal, a petitioner must show that it is more
probable than not that she would suffer future persecution); see also Nagoulko v.
INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) (possibility of future persecution “too
speculative”).
Substantial evidence also supports the conclusion that Tokramadzhyan failed
to demonstrate a reasonable possibility of torture by or with the consent or
acquiescence of the Armenian government. See Andrade-Garcia, 828 F.3d at 836-
37.
The government’s unopposed motion to supplement the administrative
record (Docket Entry No. 14) is granted.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
