1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Go v.
Holder, 640 F.3d 1047, 1052 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Gamez-Valenzuela’s
CAT claim because he 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
Mexico. See id. at 1054 (country reports and testimony insufficient to compel
conclusion that petitioner was more likely than not to be tortured).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
