                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted May 13, 2015**

Before:        LEAVY, CALLAHAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

      Karla Yanira Moreira-De Sanabria, a native and citizen of El Salvador,

petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order

dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her

application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the

Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. §

1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Zehatye

v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny the petition for

review.

      The BIA found Moreira-De Sanabria failed to establish past persecution or a

well-founded fear of future persecution on account of her social group of small

merchants in El Salvador. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of

asylum on this basis. See Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1015-16 (9th Cir.

2010); see also Parussimova v. Mukasey, 555 F.3d 734, 740 (9th Cir. 2009) (“[t]he

Real ID Act requires that a protected ground represent ‘one central reason’ for an

asylum applicant's persecution”). We lack jurisdiction to consider the contention

regarding other social group claims Moreira-De Sanabria did not raise to the BIA.

See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004). Thus, we deny the

petition as to asylum.

      Because Moreira-De Sanabria failed to establish eligibility for asylum, her

withholding of removal claim necessarily fails. See Zehatye, 453 F.3d at 1190.

      Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief

because Moreira-De Sanabria failed to show it is more likely than not she will be

tortured with the consent or acquiescence of the Salvadoran government if returned
