We review for substantial evidence the IJ’s decision to deny withholding of removal, Hakeem, 273 F.3d at 816, and relief under CAT, Zheng v. Ashcroft, 332 F.3d 1186, 1193 (9th Cir.2003).

See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2003) (<HOLDING>). Substantial evidence supports the denial of
