PER CURIAM.
1
Jefferson B. Sessions, III has been appointed to serve as Attorney General of
the United States, and is substituted as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of
Appellate Procedure 43(c).
Mexican citizen Luis A. Munoz Elizarraraz petitions for review of an order of
the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s decision to deny
his application for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against
Torture.2 Having jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, this court, after careful
consideration, concludes that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief. The
petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
