   MEMORANDUM

Dina Maribel Luna-Ramirez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2006). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that the incidents Luna-Ramirez experienced, including death threats, did not rise to the level of persecution. See Nahrvani v. Gonzales, 399 F.3d 1148, 1153-54 (9th Cir.2005) (record did not compel the finding that the incidents of harm petitioner suffered constituted past persecution). We reject Luna-Ramirez’s contentions that the agency failed to consider evidence relevant to her claim of persecution. Further, as Luna-Ramirez has not established past persecution, she is not entitled to a presumption of future persecution. See Molinar-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1096 (9th Cir.2002). As Luna-Ramirez does not otherwise contend she has shown a well-founded fear of persecution, her asylum claim fails.

In light of these conclusions, we do not reach Luna-Ramirez’s other contentions or her request for judicial notice relating to her ability to relocate.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
