Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 19, 2004, No. 03-72320; Agency No. A75-319-536 (Ortega v. Ashcroft)

MEMORANDUM *

Substantial evidence supports the Board of Immigration Appeals’ determination that the petitioner did not suffer persecution on account of one of the five statutory grounds. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101(a)(42)(A), 1158(b)(1). Therefore, the petition must be DENIED. See Wang v. Ashcroft, 341 F.3d 1015, 1019-20 (9th Cir.2003).
