MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 19, 2010**
Before: B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
Norma Lobos, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the

from an immigration judge’s denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of
removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual
findings. See Santos-Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 742 (9th Cir. 2008). We
deny the petition.
Lobos does not raise any challenge to the BIA’s determination that her
asylum application is time-barred. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review as
to Lobos’s asylum claim.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Lobos did not
demonstrate a clear probability of persecution because Lobos has not shown that
the harm her family suffered was on account of a protected ground. See INS v.
Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481-82 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition
as to her withholding of removal claim. See id. at 744.
Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s conclusion that Lobos is not
eligible for CAT relief because she failed to show it is more likely than not she
would be tortured in El Salvador. See id. at 747-48.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
