                      _____________________________

                        Petition for Review of an Order of the
                            Board of Immigration Appeals
                              Agency No. A095 127 514

   Before Higginbotham, Graves, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         Salah Said Omar El Hennawi, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions
   this court for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
   affirming an order of the Immigration Judge (IJ) ordering him removed to
   Egypt and denying his request for deferral of removal under the Convention
   Against Torture (CAT). We lack jurisdiction to consider his claim that the

                                    No. 22-60373

   IJ failed to consider the evidence in the aggregate because it was not first
   presented to the BIA. See Martinez-Guevara v. Garland, 27 F.4th 353, 359-
   60 (5th Cir. 2022); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1).
          His challenge to the determination that he was ineligible for CAT
   protection is reviewed for substantial evidence. Chen v. Gonzales, 470 F.3d
   1131, 1134 (5th Cir. 2006). He has not shown that the evidence compels a
   conclusion that he more likely than not will be tortured if repatriated and thus
   has not met this standard. See Aviles-Tavera v. Garland, 22 F.4th 478, 486
   (5th Cir. 2022); Wang v. Holder, 569 F.3d 531, 537 (5th Cir. 2009).
   Additionally, there is no need to consider his remaining arguments
   concerning credibility and the admission of evidence.             See INS v.
   Bagamasbad, 429 U.S. 24, 25 (1976). The petition for review is DENIED in
   part and DISMISSED in part.
