Juan Jacinto-Vazquez v. Loretta E. Lynch

684 F. App'x 584
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit·Decided April 28, 2017·No. 16-1113·Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Mexican citizen Juan Carlos Jacinto-Vazquez petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals adopting the decision of an immigration judge denying withholding of removal, and denying relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). 2 After careful consideration, we conclude substantial evidence supports the denials. Jacinto-Vazquez failed to establish a clear probability that his life or freedom would be threatened in Mexico because of his membership in a particular social group, and failed to establish he was entitled to CAT relief. See De Castro-Gutierrez v. Holder, 713 F.3d 375, 381-82 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard for granting CAT relief); Davila-Mejia v. Mukasey, 531 F.3d 624, 627, 629 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review; withholding requirements).

The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

. The rulings determining that Jacinto-Vazquez had not timely filed his asylum application or shown circumstances to excuse his untimcliness are not before us in this petition for review.
