ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted May 13, 2014**

Before:        CLIFTON, BEA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

       Warner Bonilla-Lopez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ 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”). We have

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual

findings, Arbid v. Holder, 700 F.3d 379, 385-86 (9th Cir. 2012), and we deny the

petition for review.

      Bonilla-Lopez does not challenge the agency’s dispositive finding that he

was convicted of a particularly serious crime. Accordingly, Bonilla-Lopez’s

asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See id. at 385.

      Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because

Bonilla-Lopez failed to establish that it is more likely than not he will be tortured

by or with the acquiescence of the government of El Salvador. See Silaya v.

Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir. 2008).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
