Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Felix Guillen Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") decision affirming an immigration judge's denial of his 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 BIA's factual findings and will uphold the BIA's decision unless the evidence compels a contrary conclusion. INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA's denial of asylum and withholding of removal because Gonzalez failed to establish that he was harmed or is at risk of being harmed on account of any protected ground. See Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. at 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812.
Substantial evidence also supports the BIA's denial of CAT relief because Gonzalez failed to demonstrate that he would be tortured by or with the acquiescence of the Guatemalan government. See Zheng v. Ashcroft, 332 F.3d 1186, 1194 (9th Cir.2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
