withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review
for 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.
