We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence
factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006), and
we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that any harm Gerbacio-
Gaspar alleged or fears is not on account of a protected ground. See Zetino v.
Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1015-16 (9th Cir. 2010); see also Parussimova v. Mukasey,
555 F.3d 734, 740 (9th Cir. 2009) (“[t]he Real ID Act requires that a protected
ground represent ‘one central reason’ for an asylum applicant’s persecution”).
Accordingly, Gerbacio-Gaspar’s withholding of removal claim fails. See Zetino at
1015-16.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
