MEMORANDUM
Juan Carlos Castro Palma, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, see INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Palma failed to establish that he was or would be targeted on account of a protected ground in El Salvador. See id. at 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812; see also Dinu v. Ashcroft, 372 F.3d 1041, 1044-45 (9th Cir.2004) (petitioner has the burden of showing a purported criminal investigation has no “bona fide objective”).
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Palma is not entitled to CAT relief because he failed to establish it is more likely than not that he would be tortured in El Salvador. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir.2008).
Palma’s request to file a replacement brief is granted. The brief submitted on February 21, 2011 is deemed filed.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
