MEMORANDUM **

Norma Lizeth Hernandez-Castillo, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision affirming the immigration judge’s decision denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Santos-Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 742 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.

The record does not compel reversal of the IJ’s conclusion that petitioner failed to establish that she suffered at the hands of gang members in El Salvador on account of a protected ground. See Ramos-Lopez v. Holder, 563 F.3d 855, 858-62 (9th Cir. 2009) (concluding that resistance to gang activity is not a particular social group for the purpose of establishing nexus to a protected ground); Molino-Morales v. *108 INS, 237 F.3d 1048, 1051-52 (9th Cir. 2001) (personal retribution is not persecution on account of a protected ground). Accordingly, petitioner’s asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT claims fail.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
