   MEMORANDUM

Virginia Cerro De Gonzal Ojeda and Jair Miguel Ojeda, natives and citizens of Peru, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“GAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s • factual findings. Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1012 (9th Cir.2010). We deny the petition for review.

Petitioners do not challenge the agency’s determination that their untimely asylum applications were not excused by changed or extraordinary circumstances, nor do they challenge the agency’s denial of their CAT claims. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996). Thus, we deny the petition as to their asylum and CÁT claims.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that petitioners failed to establish the government was or would be unable or unwilling to control the individuals they fear. See Nakrvani v. Gonzales, 399 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir.2005) (record did not compel finding petitioner faced persecution by forces the government was unwilling or unable to control). Thus, we deny the petition as to their withholding of removal claims.

We reject petitioners’ request for remand, set forth in their Response to Court Order.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
