Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Karen Emelin Olivo, a native and citizen of El Salvador, 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 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, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2006), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's finding that Olivo failed to show the government of El Salvador was unwilling or unable to control the individuals who harmed her. See Castro-Perez v. Gonzales, 409 F.3d 1069, 1070-72 (9th Cir.2005) (failure to report non-governmental persecution due to belief that police would do nothing did not establish that government was unwilling or unable to control agent of persecution). Accordingly, Olivo's asylum claim fails.
Because Olivo failed to meet the lower burden of proof for asylum, her claim for withholding of removal necessarily fails. See Zehatye, 453 F.3d at 1190.
Finally, substantial evidence also supports the agency's denial of CAT relief because Olivo failed to show it is more likely than not she will be tortured with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to El Salvador. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir.2008).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
