PER CURIAM.

Guatemalan citizen Simon Velasquez-Cansinos petitions for review of an order
of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s denial of his
application for withholding of removal. After careful consideration, we conclude that
substantial evidence in the record as a whole supports the agency’s determination that
Velasquez-Cansinos failed to establish a clear probability of persecution in Guatemala
due to a protected ground. See Ezeagwu v. Mukasey, 537 F.3d 836, 839 (8th Cir.
2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
