MEMORANDUM ***
Fredy Oswaldo Zacarías, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his applications for asylum and withholding of deportation. Because the transitional rules apply, Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997), we have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). We deny the petition for review.
Even assuming petitioner presented sufficient, credible evidence to demonstrate he suffered past persecution by guerilla groups, substantial evidence supports the Id’s finding that changed county conditions in Guatemala rebut the presumption of a well-founded fear of future persecution. See Gonzalez-Hemandez v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 995, 1000 (9th Cir.2003).
Because petitioner failed to establish eligibility for asylum, he necessarily failed to meet the more stringent standard for withholding of deportation. See Al-Harbi v. INS, 242 F.3d 882, 888-89 (9th Cir.2001).
Petitioner’s contention that the BIA’s summary affirmance without opinion violates due process is foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 850-51 (9th Cir.2003).
*74Pursuant to Elian v. Ashcroft, 870 F.3d 897 (9th Cir.2004) (order), petitioner’s voluntary departure period will begin to run upon issuance of this court’s mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
