Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Byron Amilear Garcia-Avalos, a citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the decision of an immigration judge denying him asylum and withholding of removal. After careful review, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the decision of the immigration judge. See Matul-Hernandez v. Holder, 685 F.3d 707, 712-13 (8th Cir. 2012). The petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
