U.S. District Court for Middle Alabama, Montgomery, sitting by designation.
immigration judge’s decision denying their claims 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 factual

findings. See Afriyie v. Holder, 

, 931 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny in

part and grant in part the petition for review, and we remand.

                                           I

      We deny Kaur’s petition for review of the BIA’s decision to deny her CAT

relief. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that she failed to establish

it is more likely than not she would be tortured upon return to India. See Singh v.

Gonzales, 

, 1113 (9th Cir. 2006) (evidence did not compel the

conclusion it was more likely than not the petitioner would be tortured).

                                          II

      We grant Singh’s petition for review. The BIA found that, even assuming

he had established past persecution through credible testimony, he could relocate

within India. On this basis, the BIA denied asylum and withholding of removal.

Because it is unclear whether the BIA evaluated the relocation issue with the

proper burden of proof, see 

, and because the BIA failed to

consider the reasonableness factors set forth in 8 C.F.R. §§ 1208.13(b)(3) and




                                          -2-
1208.16(b)(3), see 

we must grant the petition as to these claims and

remand for the BIA’s further consideration.

         In addition, it is not clear whether the immigration judge denied Singh’s

CAT claim on the merits, independent of his adverse credibility determination, nor

is it clear on what basis the BIA agreed with the IJ. Thus, we also grant the

petition as to Singh’s CAT claim. See 

(explaining the BIA must

“provide a comprehensible reason for its decision”) (internal citation and quotation

omitted).

                                           III

         We deny in part and grant in part the petition for review, and we remand to

the agency for further proceedings consistent with this disposition. See INS v.

Ventura, 

, 16-18 (2002) (per curiam). Because Kaur is a derivative

petitioner on Singh’s asylum claim, we remand for further proceedings as to both

petitioners on the issues raised in Singh’s petition. Each party shall bear its own

costs.

REMANDED.
