Sowe v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 1281, 1285 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition
for review.
Singh does not raise any argument that he suffered past persecution, see
Martinez-Serrano v. Holder, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-1260 (9th Cir. 1996), but
contends he has a well-founded fear of persecution based on having witnessed a
riot from his roof-top in 1984, and based on the harm his father suffered after
Singh left India. Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Singh has
not established a well-founded fear of persecution. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d
1012, 1018 (9th Cir. 2003); see also Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1096
(9th Cir. 2002) (“[T]he IJ and the BIA are entitled to rely on all relevant evidence
in the record, including a State Department report, in considering whether the
petitioner has demonstrated that there is good reason to fear future persecution”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
