   MEMORANDUM

Carlos Reyes-Mota, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) determination that he was not eligible for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence and will uphold the decision unless the evidence compels a contrary result. Hernandez-Montiel v. INS, 225 F.3d 1084, 1090-91 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.

The IJ properly denied Reyes-Mota’s request for asylum and withholding of removal because he did not establish that there was more than a generalized or random possibility of his future persecution in Guatemala. See Kotasz v. INS, 31 F.3d 847, 852-54 (9th Cir.1994).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
