United States Seventh Circuit

Petition for review, by a citizen of Ukraine, of an order of the BIA denying his application for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) is denied where: 1) although the BIA's apparent misunderstanding that Eighth Circuit law controlled does not undermine its primary ground of decision, that petitioner failed to show persecution under the standard for withholding of removal, the BIA's Eighth Circuit case citations did not affect the outcome; and 2) denial of petitioner's claims for withholding or removal and CAT protection is supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence.
