Maria Gloria Ortiz-Licona, a native and citizen of Honduras, has filed a petition for review of the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the denial of her application for withholding of removal. Ortiz-Licona contends that she demonstrated past persecution and a clear probability of future persecution based on the cumulative effects of her ex-husband’s mistreatment of her. She also challenges the determination of the BIA that any persecution would not be on account of her membership in a particular social group.

Athough Ortiz-Licona testified that her ex-husband engaged in verbal and psychological abuse and mistreated her with respect to the marital home, the record does not compel the conclusion that his conduct rose to the extreme level required to constitute persecution. See Tesfamichael v. Gonzales, 469 F.3d 109, 116 (5th Cir. 2006); Eduard v. Ashcroft, 379 F.3d 182, 188 (5th Cir. 2004).

Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s determination with respect to the likelihood of future persecution. Ortiz-Li-cona did not present evidence of any specific threat by her ex-husband should she return to Honduras. Additionally, after her ex-husband’s abusive conduct began, she lived in Honduras for about 10 years without suffering harm rising to the level of persecution. Her children and other family members also continue to live in Honduras without harm amounting to persecution. See Tesfamichael, 469 F.3d at 116; Eduard, 379 F.3d at 188.

The BIA’s determination that Ortiz-Li-cona failed to make the requisite showing regarding persecution is supported by substantial evidence. We therefore need not reach her argument regarding membership in a particular social group.

The petition for review is DENIED.
