United States, and is substituted as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate

Procedure 43(c).

Appellate Case: 14-3625 Page: 1 Date Filed: 07/23/2015 Entry ID: 4298154 
Tanzanian citizen Peter Agaba Ngobya petitions for review of an order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s decision to deny his

application for asylum. After careful consideration of the issues before us,2

 we deny

the petition, because we conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that

Ngobya failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future

persecution, due to any protected ground. See Matul-Hernandez v. Holder, 685 F.3d

707, 710-13 (8th Cir. 2012). The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The agency’s rulings denying withholding of removal and relief under the

Convention Against Torture are not before us in this petition for review.
