United States First Circuit

An Egyptian citizen's petition for review of a BIA's final order of removal is denied where: 1) substantial evidence supported the BIA's and IJ's conclusion that, even if the harms petitioner has endured are assumed attributable to his religious beliefs, they did not rise to the level of persecution; 2) there is substantial evidence supporting BIA's finding that petitioner failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of future persecution; and 3) there was no abuse of discretion in the BIA's denial of petitioner's motion to remand to consider changed country conditions on the basis of statements in the State Department reports.
