Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Anne Wangari Mwagiru, a native and citizen of Kenya, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal and 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. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that Mwagiru failed to demonstrate changed or extraordinary circumstances to excuse her untimely-filed asylum application. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208(a)(4), (5). Thus, we deny the petition for review as to Mwagiru's asylum claim, including her claim to a humanitarian grant of asylum.
As to Mwagiru's withholding of removal claim, the record does not compel the conclusion that- a protected ground was one central reason for the past harm Mwagiru suffered in Kenya. See Parussimova v. Mukasey, 555 F.3d 734, 740 (9th Cir. 2009) (to reverse the REAL ID Act "requires that a protected ground represent 'one central reason' for an asylum applicant's persecution"). Substantial evidence supports the agency's conclusion that Mwagi-ru failed to establish a clear probability of future persecution because she did not demonstrate it would be unreasonable for her to relocate within Kenya. See Gomes v. Gonzales, 429 F.3d 1264, 1267 (9th Cir. 2005) (fear of future persecution undermined by prior successful internal relocation). Thus, we deny her petition for review as to withholding, of removal.
Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency's denial of CAT relief because Mwagiru failed to show it is more likely than not that she would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the Kenyan government. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir. 2008).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
