United States First Circuit

Denial of a petition for review of the Board of Immigrant Appeals's decision, affirming an Immigration Judge's denial of his application for asylum and withholding of removal, is affirmed where petitioner failed to offer any evidence of the existence of a legally cognizable particular social group, and it is clear that the BIA's determination was supported by substantial evidence.
