Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Moise Alejandro Galiciar-Corado, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). Our jurisdiction is governed by 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), and we review de novo questions of law, Cerezo v. Mukasey, 512 F.3d 1163, 1166 (9th Cir. 2008). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that Galicia-Corado established extraordinary circumstances to excuse his untimely asylum application. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a)(5); see also Tamang v. Holder, 598 F.3d 1083, 1090-91 (9th Cir. 2010) (extraordinary circumstances did not excuse untimely asylum application where petitioner claimed ineffective assistance of counsel but failed to comply with Matter of hozada requirements). Thus, we deny the petition for review as to Galicia-Corado's asylum claim.
Galicia-Corado's argument that the BIA failed to consider the elements of his proposed social groups cumulatively is unex-hausted, see Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th ¿ir. 2004) (court lacks jurisdiction to review claims not presented to the agency), and Galicia-Corado does not otherwise challenge the BIA's determination that he failed to establish past or future harm on account of a protected ground, see Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not specifically raised and argued in a party's opening brief are waived). Thus, Galicia-Corado's withholding of removal claim fails.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's denial of Galicia-Corado's CAT claim because he failed to establish it is more likely than not that he would be tortured at the instigation, or with the consent or acquiescence, of the government of El Salvador. See Silaya, 524 F.3d at 1073. We reject Galicia-Corado's contentions that the BIA erred in its analysis and violated his right to due process. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error to prevail on a due process claim).
Galicia-Corado's motion to hold the proceedings in abeyance (Docket Entry No. 8) is denied as moot.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P.'34(a)(2).
