PER CURIAM.

Guatemalan citizen Maximo Roman Perez Roblero petitions for review of an

order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s denial

Appellate Case: 15-3770 Page: 1 Date Filed: 07/25/2016 Entry ID: 4429656 
of petitioner’s application for asylum and withholding of removal. After careful

1

consideration, we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole

supports the agency’s determination, see Quinonez-Perez v. Holder, 635 F.3d 342,

344 (8th Cir. 2011), because petitioner failed to establish that the alleged past

persecution, or the alleged fear of future persecution, was on account of a protected

asylum ground, see Gaitan v. Holder, 671 F.3d 678, 682 (8th Cir. 2012); OrtizPuentes v. Holder, 662 F.3d 481, 483-84 (8th Cir. 2011). Petitioner asks us to

reconsider our position on gang recruitment and particular social groups, but any such

request must be directed to this court sitting en banc. See Gaitan, 671 F.3d at 681;

United States v. Wright, 22 F.3d 787, 788 (8th Cir. 1994).

The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

______________________________

Petitioner also sought protection under the Convention Against Torture, but

1

that ruling is not before us. See Wanyama v. Holder, 698 F.3d 1032, 1035 n.1 (8th

Cir. 2012).
