Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Eparama Tuitogalevu Mau, a native and citizen of Fiji, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") order summarily affirming an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his applications for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the IJ's particularly serious crime determination. Arbid v. Holder, 700 F.3d 379, 383 (9th Cir.2012). We review for substantial evidence the IJ's factual findings, id. at 385-86, and review de novo due process claims and question of law, id. at 385 n. 3. We deny the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in determining that Mau's conviction for driving under the influence and causing bodily injury in violation of California Vehicle Code § 23153(b) is a particularly serious crime rendering him ineligible for withholding of removal. See id. at 385; 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(B)(ii). The IJ applied the proper legal standard as set forth in Matter of Frentescu, 18 I. & N. Dec. 244 (BIA 1982), and did not err in considering the abstract of judgment or evidence outside the record of conviction. See Anaya-Ortiz v. Holder, 594 F.3d 673, 678-80 (9th Cir.2010) (the agency may consider all reliable information in making a particularly serious crime determination). Mau's contentions that the IJ should have applied the categorical approach, and that his conviction is not a crime of violence are inap-posite. See id. at 680.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ's denial of deferral of removal under the CAT on the ground that Mau failed to establish it is more likely than not he will be tortured if he returns to Fiji. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.17(a); Arbid, 700 F.3d at 386.
Mau's due process claim regarding the BIA's streamlining procedure is foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 851 (9th Cir.2003). Mau's claim that the IJ failed to follow relevant precedent is not supported by the record.
Finally, we deny Mau's renewed motion in his opening brief for appointment of counsel.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
