United States First Circuit
Marin-Portillo v. Lynch, 14-2138
In an immigration action, brought by a petitioner who fled Guatemala after threats against his life were made by a police officer convicted in connection with killing his father, the Board of Immigration Appeals' order denying asylum and declining to withhold removal is affirmed where petitioner's grounds for fear of persecution come from a personal dispute rather than a statutory ground enumerated in 8 U.S.C., section 1101(a)(42)(A).
