Petitioner,
versus
ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A75 523 074
--------------------
Before JOLLY, DAVIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ceasar Augusto Avila Ibanez (Avila), a native and citizen of
Guatemala, petitions this court to review the decision of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) adopting and affirming the
decision of the Immigration Judge (IJ) denying his application
for withholding of removal. Avila argues that he demonstrated
both past persecution and a well-founded fear of future
persecution as a result of his activities in a defunct political
party.

No. 05-60835
-2-
We conclude from a review of the record that the BIA’s
determination is supported by substantial evidence, and the
record does not compel a conclusion contrary to the BIA’s denial
of withholding of removal. See Roy v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d 132,
138 (5th Cir. 2004); Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 906 (5th Cir.
2002); 8 C.F.R. § 208.16(b). The petition for review is DENIED.
