Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jose Amilcar Chim Coyoy, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for withholding of removal and protection 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. Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir.2008). We deny the petition for review.
Chim Coyoy does not claim past persecution in Guatemala. Substantial evidence supports the agency's finding that Chim Coyoy failed to establish it was more likely than not that he would be persecuted if returned to Guatemala. See Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 967 (9th Cir.1998) ("petitioner cannot simply prove that there exists a generalized or random possibility of persecution^] he must show that he is at particular risk[.]") (internal quotation marks, alterations, and citation omitted); see also Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir.2003) (concluding fear was "not objee- tively reasonable under the circumstances of this case"). We reject Chim Coyoy's contentions that the agency decisions were insufficient and failed to adequately review the evidence. Thus, Chim Coyoy's withholding of removal claim fails.
Substantial evidence also supports the agency's denial of CAT relief because Chim Coyoy failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government of Guatemala if returned. See Silaya, 524 F.3d at 1073.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
