   MEMORANDUM

We construe Jose Alvarez-Castro’s July 20, 2015 filing (Docket No. 31) as a third motion for reconsideration of the court’s September 24, 2014 order denying his request for a stay of removal, and we deny it as untimely. See 9th Cir. R. 27-10.

Alvarez-Castro, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Lopez-Cardona v. Holder, 662 F.3d 1110, 1111 (9th Cir. 2011), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Alvarez-Castro’s CAT claim because he failed to establish it is more likely than not that he would be tortured if returned to Mexico. See id. at 1114.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
