PER CURIAM.

Venancio Odilo Avila-Morales, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming an immigration

judge’s denial of his applications for asylum and withholding of removal. After

careful consideration of the record and the parties’ submissions, see Matul-Hernandez

v. Holder, 685 F.3d 707, 710-13 (8th Cir. 2012), we deny the petition, because we

Appellate Case: 15-1924 Page: 1 Date Filed: 11/09/2015 Entry ID: 4334647 
conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that Avila-Morales failed to

establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution, on account of

any protected ground, see Uli v. Mukasey, 533 F.3d 950, 955, 958 (8th Cir. 2008). 

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