083736P.pdf   01/12/2010  Shoodley Cherichel  v.  Eric H. Holder, Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3736
   Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Petition for Review - Immigration. The BIA did not err in rejecting
   petitioner's argument that his imprisonment in the admittedly-harsh
   conditions of Haitian prisons would qualify him for CAT relief; a
   petitioner may not obtain relief under CAT unless he can show that his
   prospective torturer has the goal or specific intent of inflicting severe
   physical or mental pain or suffering upon him; a showing that pain or
   suffering is practically certain to occur cannot establish the required
   specific intent.
