substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d
1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Torres failed
to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution from gang members on
account of a protected ground. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483
(1992). We reject Torres’ contentions that the agency applied an incorrect legal
standard, or otherwise erred in analyzing his case. Thus, his asylum and
withholding of removal claims fail. See Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1011
(9th Cir. 2010).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
