Heading: Failure to Apply Regulation

Text: Petitioner contends that the BIA erred in failing to consider whether Petitioner suffered “other serious harm” under 8 C.F.R. § 208.13(b)(1)(iii). The regulation, however, applies only to victims of past persecution. See 8 C.F.R. § 208.13(b)(1)(iii) (“An applicant described in paragraph b(1)(i) of this section . . . may be granted asylum . . . if . . . [t]he applicant has established that there is a reasonable possibility that he or she may suffer other serious harm upon removal[.]”); id. at § 208.13(b)(1) (defining “Past persecution”). Petitioner neither alleges nor shows that she was the victim of past persecution. There was no error in not applying the regulation.
