United States First Circuit

The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) did not err in denying petitioner's withholding of removal claim, where petitioner was not entitled to avoid removal based on the threats made by his daughter's former boyfriend, where the BIA did not err in finding that: 1) petitioner feared harm resulting from a personal dispute, and so he has not suffered past persecution on account of a protected ground; and 2) petitioner has failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution.
