Before BYE, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

     Alena Uladimirauna Kurylchyk and her husband Vitali Nikolaevich
Bychkooski, natives and citizens of Belarus, petition for review of an order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s decision to deny
asylum and withholding of removal.1 After careful consideration of the issues before
us, see De Castro-Gutierrez v. Holder, 713 F.3d 375, 379 (8th Cir. 2013), we deny the
petition, because we conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that
Kurylchyk failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future
persecution, see Ortiz-Puentes v. Holder, 662 F.3d 481, 483-84 (8th Cir. 2011). The
petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
        Kurylchyk is the principal applicant and her husband is a derivative applicant
for relief.
