PER CURIAM.
Venancio Odilo Avila-Morales, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming an immigration
judge’s denial of his applications for asylum and withholding of removal. After
careful consideration of the record and the parties’ submissions, see Matul-Hernandez
v. Holder, 685 F.3d 707, 710-13 (8th Cir. 2012), we deny the petition, because we

-- 1 of 2 --

conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that Avila-Morales failed to
establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution, on account of
any protected ground, see Uli v. Mukasey, 533 F.3d 950, 955, 958 (8th Cir. 2008).
The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
