United States Ninth Circuit
Lkhagvasuren v. Lynch, 13-71778
In a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision, brought by a Mongolian citizen who sought asylum and other relief from removal based on his actions whistleblowing corruption by a privately-owned former employer, the petition is denied where: 1) substantial evidence supported the BIA's conclusion that petitioner failed to present evidence that his purported persecutors were motivated by his anticorruption beliefs, or that the corruption was connected to government actors; and 2) petitioner also failed to establish a sufficient likelihood of torture.
