Mohammed Islam v. Loretta Lynch

MEMORANDUM

Mohammed S Islam, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

We do not consider the material attached to the opening brief that is not part of the administrative record. See Fisher v. I.N.S., 79 F.3d 955 , 963-64 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc).

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that, even if Islam testified credibly, the harm he experienced did not rise to the level of persecution. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1059-60 (petitioner failed to establish past persecution where he was beaten and robbed on two occasions and accosted by a mob).
