Ali v. Gonzales

203 F. App'x 579

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Shahbuddin Noor AJi, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions this court for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) decision affirming the Immi gration Judge’s (IJ) denial of his applications for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Ali contends that the BIA erred in affirming the IJ’s denial of withholding of removal and relief under the CAT because he established that he suffered past persecution and torture and it was more likely than not that he would be persecuted and tortured if he returned to Pakistan.

After careful review of the record and the briefs, this court concludes that the BIA’s determination that Ali is not eligible for withholding of removal or relief under the CAT is supported by substantial evidence, and the record does not compel a contrary conclusion. See Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 903, 906-07 (5th Cir.2002). Therefore, Ali’s petition for review is DENIED.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
