MEMORANDUM **

Gilmar Lorenzo Mansujeto, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review or substantial evidence, Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 n. 4 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

The record does not compel the conclusion that Mansujeto has established extraordinary circumstances excusing the untimely filing of his asylum application. See 8 C.F.R. § 208.4(a)(5). Accordingly, his asylum claim fails.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of withholding of removal because Mansujeto did not establish the threats made by rebel groups amounted to past persecution, or that he faces a clear probability of future persecution based on these threats. See Hoxha, 319 F.3d at 1182, 1185.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
