United States Eighth Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of withholding of removal and protection under the CAT, based on a claim that a return to El Salvador would subject petitioner to likely harm or death due to his former membership in the country's military, is denied where: 1) a due process claim regarding a determination that he was convicted of a particularly serious crime was without merit; and 2) substantial evidence supported a determination that he was not eligible for relief under the CAT.
