- 73022

(“CAT”) (petition No. 17

- 73022) , and the BIA’s order denying her motion to reconsider and terminate proceedings (petition No. 19

- 71866). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual fin dings and review de novo claims of due process violations

. Padilla

- Martinez v. Holder , 770 F.3d 825, 830 (9th Cir. 2014)

. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider. Mohammed v. Gonzales , 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petitions for review. As to petition No. 17

- 73022, s ubstantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Carballo

- Navarrete did not establish past persecution. See Baghdasaryan v. Holder , 592 F.3 d 1018, 1023 (9th Cir. 2010) ( “An applicant alleging past persecution has the burden of establishing that (1) his treatment rises to the level of persecution; (2) the persecution was on account of one or more protected grounds; and (3) the persecution was committed by the government, or by forces that the government was unable or unwilling to control.” ). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s determination that she did not establish a well

founded fear of future persecution. See Zehatye v. Gonzal es , 453 F.3d 1182, 1186

- 88 (9th Cir. 2006) (in the absence of any individualized threat, record did not compel a finding that the applicant would be singled out for persecution) ; see also
Duran

- Rodriguez v. Barr , 918 F.3d 1025, 1029 (9th Cir. 2019) (applic ant did not have a well

- founded fear of future persecution where substantial evidence3 17

- 73022

supported the agency’s finding that he could relocate). Thus, Carballo

- Navarrete’s asylum claim fails. In this case, because Carballo

- Navarrete failed to establish eligibility for asylum, she failed to establish eligibility for withholding of removal. See Zehatye , 453 F.3d at 1190. Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief becau se Carballo

- Navarrete failed to show it is more likely than not she will be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to El Salvador. See Aden v. Holder , 589 F.3d 1040, 1047 (9th Cir. 2009). We reject as unsupported by the record Carballo

- Navarrete’s contentions that the agency applied incorrect legal standards and ignored evidence. Carballo

- Navarrete’s contentions that the agency violated her right to due process fail. See Padilla

- Martinez , 770 F.3d at 830 (“To prevail on a due

- process claim, a petitioner must demonstrate both a violation of rights and prejudice.”) ; see also Rizo v. Lynch , 810 F.3d 688, 693 (9th Cir. 2016) ( no due process violation where the applicant was “able to reasonably present his cas e”); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1003.10(b) (authorizing the IJ to conduct cross - examin ation ). Thus, Carballo

Navarrete’s request, raised in her opening brief, to remand to the immigration court for a new hearing is denied. As to petition No. 19

- 71866, the BIA di d not abuse its discretion in denying4 17

- 73022

Carballo

- Navarrete’s motion to reconsider and terminate , where her contention that the immigration court lacked jurisdiction over her proceedings is foreclosed by Aguilar Fermin v. Barr , 958 F.3d 887, 895 (9th Cir. 2020) (“ [T] he lack of time, date, and place in the NTA sent to [petitioner] did not deprive the immigration court of jurisdiction over her case

. ”)

. Thus, the government’s motion for summary disposition (Docket Entry No. 12) is granted because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton , 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (stating standard).
