MEMORANDUM***
Jenny Marlene Velasco Aviles, a native and citizen of Bolivia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision, which summarily affirmed the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) order denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.
Where, as here, the BIA affirms without an opinion, we review the IJ’s decision directly. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849 (9th Cir.2003). We review for substantial evidence, Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1015 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition for review.
Aviles contends that the IJ erred by finding that she did not establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution. We disagree. Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s conclusion that Aviles failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution. See Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 967 (9th Cir.1998) (recognizing that “[mjere generalized lawlessness and violence” without a particularized risk to the petitioner is generally insufficient to support a claim of asylum).
Because Aviles has not established eligibility for asylum, it follows that she has not satisfied the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See PedroMateo v. INS, 224 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.2000).
To the extent that Aviles raises the issue, we decline to consider her CAT claim because she failed to exhaust the issue with the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
