Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Misael Perdomo-Martinez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision de nying his application for withholding of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that Perdomo-Martinez did not establish a clear probability of persecution because the threats he and his family received, and the death of his cousin, do not amount to persecution on account of a protected ground. See Nahrvani v. Gonzales, 399 F.3d 1148, 1153 (9th Cir.2005); Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d 1482, 1486 (9th Cir.1997). Substantial evidence also supports the agency's determination Perdomo-Martinez failed to establish a clear probability of persecution in light of his family's ability to live unharmed in Guatemala City. See Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812, 816 (9th Cir.2001). Perdomo-Martinez does not otherwise contend he has a future fear of persecution. Accordingly, his claim for withholding of removal fails.
We lack jurisdiction to review PerdomoMartinez's contention that the IJ did not consider evidence of country conditions because he did not exhaust it before the BIA. See Brezilien v. Holder, 569 F.3d 403, 412 (9th Cir.2009) (no jurisdiction to review due process claim where petitioner failed to exhaust the claim).
Perdomo-Martinez's counsel is cautioned that her opening brief does not meet this court's standards. See generally Fed.R.App. P.28; 9th Cir. R.28-2.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
