United States First Circuit


Vilela v. Holder, 10-1037

A Brazilian citizen's petition for review of a BIA's final order of removal is denied as substantial evidence supported the IJ's and BIA's conclusions that petitioner failed to establish a nexus between the harm he had suffered and any protected ground, and failed to establish that what he suffered rose to the level of persecution.
