Before LOKEN, BENTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
Guatemalan citizen Santos Zacarias-Castro petitions for review of an order of
the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s denial of his
application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture. After careful consideration, we conclude that substantial evidence
on the record as a whole supports the denial of relief. Zacarias-Castro failed to
establish that the harm he claims to have suffered--or he fears may come to him if he
returns to his native country--is related to one of the five grounds that is protected
under the asylum statute. See Davila-Mejia v. Mukasey,
531 F.3d 624, 627-29 (8th
Cir. 2008); Quomsieh v. Gonzales,
479 F.3d 602, 606-07 (8th Cir. 2007).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
