   MEMORANDUM

Diana Patricia Rodriguez Lozano, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her application for asylum and withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, see Pedro-Mateo v. INS, 224 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that Rodriguez Lozano’s encounter with guerillas, her fears of kidnaping, and the robbery and shooting of her father were not on account of political opinion, affirmative or imputed, or membership in a particular social group. See Pedro-Mateo, 224 F.3d at 1150-51; Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d 1482, 1487-91 (9th Cir.1997).

Because Rodriguez Lozano failed to establish eligibility for asylum, she necessarily failed to satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Pedro-Mateo, 224 F.3d at 1150.

The IJ properly denied relief under the CAT because Rodriguez Lozano failed to demonstrate that it is more likely than not that she will be tortured if removed to Colombia. See Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 992-93 (9th Cir.2003).

Rodriguez Lozano’s contention that the BIA’s opinion insufficiently articulated its reasons for denying relief is foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 851 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
