MEMORANDUM**

Petitioner Francisco Melendez-Carrasco appeals the BIA’s dismissal of his appeal of the immigration judge’s denial of his asylum claim.1 The BIA’s finding that petitioner failed to demonstrate either past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution is supported by substantial evidence. Even if Melendez-Carrasco subjectively fears future persecution, there is nothing in the record that would support a finding that petitioner faces persecution based on his race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion (imputed or actual). See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(42)(A); Arriaga-Barrientos v. INS, 937 F.2d 411, 414 (9th Cir. 1991).

Petitioners Melendez-Carrasco and Maria Del Socoro Contreras De Melendez also purport to assert a due process challenge to the BIA’s interpretation of Section 240A(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1229b. This claim is so insubstantial that we do not have jurisdiction over that aspect of their petition.

We therefore dismiss the petition.
