MEMORANDUM**
Emilia Erni Hurtado-Ramos, a native and citizen of Peru, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ streamlined affirmance of the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Shah v. INS, 220 F.3d 1062, 1067 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that the two anonymous death threats Hurtado-Ramos received were, without more, insufficient to demonstrate past persecution. See Lim v. INS, 224 F.3d 929, 936 (9th Cir.2000) (holding that unfulfilled threats, without more, do not compel a finding of past persecution where *578threats are not so menacing as to cause significant actual suffering or harm). Moreover, the record does not compel a finding that Hurtado-Ramos held a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of a statutorily-enumerated ground. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992).
By failing to qualify for asylum Hurtado-Ramos necessarily failed to meet the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Alvarez-Santos v. INS, 332 F.3d 1245, 1255 (9th Cir.2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
