Alejandro MARIN-POSADA, Petitioner, v. Eric H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent, 404 F. App'x 198

MEMORANDUM Alejandro Marin-Posada, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings. INS v. EliasZacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 & n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Marin Posada failed to demonstrate the urban guerrillas targeted him on account of his membership in a particular social group or based on an actual or imputed political opinion. See Gormley v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1172, 1177 (9th Cir.2004). Because Marin-Posada failed to demonstrate he was or will be persecuted on account of a protected ground, his asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Barrios v. Holder, 581 F.3d 849, 856 (9th Cir.2009). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
