1 for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d
2 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.
3 Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Gramajo Rodas
4 failed to establish he was harmed by the army and guerillas on account of a
5 protected ground, including his political neutrality. See Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d
6 1482, 1487-89 (9th Cir. 1997); see also INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 482-
7 83 (1992). Thus, his claims for asylum and withholding of removal fail.
8 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
