MEMORANDUM***

5
The Board of Immigration Appeals correctly concluded that petitioner is ineligible for asylum or withholding of deportation because any threat to his safety stems not from political persecution, but from a personal vendetta between his family and a rival clan.  See Zayas-Marini v. INS, 785 F.2d 801, 806 (9th Cir.1986).  In reaching this conclusion, the Board thoroughly reviewed the record and provided "an adequate statement of reasons for its decision."  Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1430 (9th Cir.1995).

6
DENIED.
