Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 15, 2009**

of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for
substantial evidence, Gu v. Gonzales, 454 F.3d 1014, 1018 (9th Cir. 2006), and we
deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that the single arrest and
fine Yiang suffered did not amount to past persecution. See id. at 1019-21, see
also Prasad v. INS, 47 F.3d 336, 339-40 (9th Cir. 1995). Substantial evidence also
supports the BIA’s finding that Yiang failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of
persecution because his fear of future persecution is not objectively reasonable.
See Gu, 454 F.3d at 1021-22.
Because Yiang failed to establish eligibility for asylum he necessarily failed
to establish eligibility for withholding of removal. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453
F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
