Alena Kurylchyk v. Eric H. Holder, Jr.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Alena Uladimirauna Kurylchyk and her husband Vitali Nikolaevich Bychkooski, natives and citizens of Belarus, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s decision to deny asylum and withholding of removal. 1 After careful consideration of the issues before us, see De Castro-Gutierrez v. Holder, 713 F.3d 375, 379 (8th Cir. 2013), we deny the petition, because we conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that Kurylchyk failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution, see Ortiz-Puentes v. Holder, 662 F.3d 481, 483-84 (8th Cir. 2011). The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
