PER CURIAM.

      1
      Jefferson B. Sessions, III has been appointed to serve as Attorney General of
the United States, and is substituted as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of
Appellate Procedure 43(c).
      Byron Amilcar 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.
                        ______________________________
