MEMORANDUM*

Wilber A. Moreno-Aguilar petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying his request for political asylum. A native of Guatemala, Moreno-Aguilar entered the United States without inspection in August of 1995. He applied for asylum because of his alleged fear of political persecution if he returned to Guatemala.
