Fausto Renato QUEVEDO, Petitioner, v. Jefferson B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent, 702 F. App'x 613

MEMORANDUM To qualify for Convention Against Torture relief a petitioner must show that “it is more likely than not that he ... would be tortured if removed to the proposed country of removal,” 8 C.F.R. § 208.16(c)(2). The IJ didn’t err by finding that Quevedo failed to meet this standard. Substantial evidence supported the IJ’s determination that the beating Quevedo suffered wasn’t torture. See Ahmed v. Keisler, 504 F.3d 1183, 1201 (9th Cir. 2007). His later peaceful interaction with Guatemalan police further demonstrates that he’s unlikely to be tortured if returned to Guatemala. DENIED.
