Submitted August 1, 2013**

8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review factual findings for substantial evidence, Zehatye v.
Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s decision that there is an absence of
changed or extraordinary circumstances to excuse the untimely filing of
Petitioner’s asylum application. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a)(4)-(5).
Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s finding that there is no nexus
between Petitioner’s fear of future harm and a protected ground. See Delgado-
Ortiz v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148, 1151-52 (9th Cir. 2010); Zetino v. Holder, 622
F.3d 1007, 1016 (9th Cir. 2010).
Finally, substantial evidence supports the denial of CAT relief because
Petitioner failed to establish that it is more likely than not that he would be tortured
if he returns to Mexico. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir.
2008).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
