United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 10-3822 ___________ Juan Velasquez-Lopez, * * Petitioner, * * Petition for Review of v. * an Order of the Board * of Immigration Appeals. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General * of the United States, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Respondent. * ___________ Submitted: May 19, 2011 Filed: May 24, 2011 ___________ Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Guatemalan citizen Juan Velasquez-Lopez petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that affirmed an immigration judge’s (IJ’s) denial of withholding of removal. We conclude for the reasons explained by the IJ and the BIA that Velasquez-Lopez failed to show it was more likely than not that he would be persecuted on account of a protected ground if returned to Guatemala. See Malonga v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 546, 551-52 (8th Cir. 2008); Davila-Mejia v. Mukasey, 531 F.3d 624, 628-29 (8th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition. ______________________________ Appellate Case: 10-3822 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/24/2011 Entry ID: 3790449
