Decided August 25, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carlos E. Estrada, on brief for petitioners.

Jeffrey S. Bucholtz, Linda S. Wernery, and Dimitri N. Rocha on brief for respondent.

Before TORRUELLA, CUDAHY, and LIPEZ, Circuit Judges.


CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.

The petitioners, Luis Ernesto Bonilla (Bonilla) and Judith Mercado Bonilla (Mercado), are Colombian nationals. They seek judicial review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying their application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Mercado's application is derivative and thus, its success depends on the success of Bonilla's application. See Ang v. Gonzales,
