Detailed Instructions: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Q: denied. PETITION DISMISSED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. ** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. 1 . Torres does not contest the IJ's finding that he committed an aggravated felony and is therefore ineligible for asylum under 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(2)(C); he merely argues that his aggravated felony conviction did not constitute a particularly serious crime, a sufficient finding to disqualify him from withholding of removal relief. 2 . The government argues that 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(2)(C) also bars our jurisdiction of Torres's CAT claim. We disagree because in denying relief under the CAT, the BIA considered the merits and did not rely on Torres's prior conviction. Brezilien v. Holder, 569 F.3d 403, 410 (9th Cir.2009)
