Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted May 24, 2011 **
Before: PREGERSON, THOMAS, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
Siti Marhaenny Rahayuningsih and her family, natives and citizens of
Indonesia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order
dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their
application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
for substantial evidence, Zetino v. Holder, 622 F.3d 1007, 1012 (9th Cir. 2010),
and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s conclusion that petitioners failed
to establish past persecution or an objectively reasonable fear of future persecution
on account of a protected ground, because they did not demonstrate that the
persons who attempted to force Rahayuningsih to return her adopted daughter to
the daughter’s biological mother were motivated by more than a personal dispute.
See id. at 1015-16 (9th Cir. 2010) (the Real ID Act requires a protected ground to
be “one central reason” for the persecution). Accordingly, petitioners’ asylum
claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
