MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 29, 2010**
Before: ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Luis Alonso Carranza-Valle, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions
for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal
from an immigration judge’s decision denying his request for protection under the
Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Silaya v. Mukasey,
524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), and we review de novo due process claims,
Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because
Carranza-Valle failed to establish it is more likely than not that he will be tortured
if he returns to El Salvador. See Santos-Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 748 (9th
Cir. 2007).
We reject Carranza-Valle’s contention that the BIA violated his due process
rights by failing to adequately consider his CAT claim because it is not supported
by the record. Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error to
establish due process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
