1Opinion of the Court

CARL E. STEWART, Chief Judge:

*156 On May 27, 2014, Lesly Odelia Cabrera, a native citizen of Honduras, fled to the United States and applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). The Immigration Judge ("IJ") denied all relief and Cabrera appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), alleging the IJ misapplied the law in determining her refugee status and denying relief. The BIA summarily dismissed the appeal. Cabrera now brings this petition for review. We deny in part and grant in part the petition for review.
