MEMORANDUM **

Felipa De Los Angeles-Moreno, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals, upholding the immigration judge’s denial of her applications for asylum and withholding of removal.

De Los Angeles-Moreno contends that she suffered persecution because she was harassed by gangs in El Salvador, and she is entitled to asylum and withholding relief. Petitioner’s refusal to comply with the gang’s extortion demands does not constitute a political opinion. See Santos-Lemus v. Mukasey, 542 F.3d 738, 742 (9th Cir. 2008) (holding that general aversion to gangs does not constitute a political opinion for asylum purposes). Petitioner does not allege she was part of a social group, and otherwise fails to establish that she was eligible for asylum or withholding relief.

We need not reach De Los AngelesMoreno’s contention that the immigration *757 judge erred in finding that she was not credible, where the BIA did not reach the issue due to petitioner’s failure to establish her eligibility for asylum.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
