   MEMORANDUM

Leslie Mirissage, a native and citizen of Sri Lanka, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1070 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of CAT relief because Mirissage failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Sri Lanka. See Alphonsus v. Holder, 705 F.3d 1031, 1049-50 (9th Cir. 2013). We reject Mirissage’s contentions that the agency inadequately considered record evidence. See id. at 1049 (BIA may use its expertise in considering country reports to decide which portions are relevant). Thus, Mirissage’s claim for deferral of removal under the CAT fails.

Finally, we do not consider materials attached to Mirissage’s opening brief that were not part of the record before the agency. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc) (review limited to the administrative record).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
