Docket

*1 Before COLLOTON, MURPHY, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

*2 Guatemalan citizen Maria Laura Lastor-Toj petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing her appeal from the decision of an immigration judge denying her asylum and withholding of removal. [2] Upon careful review, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the agency’s underlying determinations that (1) the discrimination and harassment Lastor-Toj suffered in Guatemala did not rise to the level of past persecution by persons whom the Guatemalan government was unwilling or unable to control; and (2) Lastor-Toj failed to prove a well-founded fear of future persecution in Guatemala. See Makatengkeng v. Gonzales , 495 F.3d 876, 885 (8th Cir. 2007).

The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

______________________________

[1] Jefferson B. Sessions, III has been appointed to serve as Attorney General of the United States, and is substituted as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c).

[2] Lastor-Toj does not challenge the denial of her request for protection under the Convention Against Torture. -2-
