MEMORANDUM **

Laura Yanet Torres Velasquez and her husband, Edgar Daniel Ortiz Monroy, petition for review of an order denying asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Even assuming Torres Velasquez’s and Monroy’s testimony was credible, the immigration judge (IJ) permissibly found that any mistreatment they suffered did not have a nexus to a protected ground. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(42)(A).

In addition, the IJ permissibly found that Torres Velasquez’s and Monroy’s mistreatment did not rise to the level of persecution. See, e.g., Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 960 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc). Finally, the IJ permissibly found that Velasquez’s and Monroy’s fear of future persecution was not objectively reasonable. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(b)(2).

For the above reasons, we deny the petition.

PETITION DENIED.
