               Respondent.

                       On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals

Before:        BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.

We review factual findings to be certain they are supported by substantial

evidence. Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny

the petition for review.

       The agency denied petitioners’ asylum claim as time-barred. Petitioners do

not challenge this finding in their opening brief.

       Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of withholding of removal

because petitioners did not produce “credible, direct, and specific evidence” that

they will be persecuted because of the years they lived in the United States, or that

they or their daughter will be persecuted because their daughter is an American

citizen. See Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1428 (9th Cir. 1995); see also Nagoulko

v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) (denying claim where fear of future

persecution is too speculative).

       We decline to take judicial notice of the 2003 and 2005 U.S. State

Department Travel Warnings. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963 (9th Cir. 1996)

(en banc).
