MEMORANDUM **
*576 Jamshid Rahro, a native and citizen of Iran, petitions pro se for review of a Board of Immigration Appeal’s (“BIA”) streamlined affirmance of the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence and will uphold the agency determination unless the evidence compels a contrary result. Hernandez-Montiel v. INS, 225 F.3d 1084, 1090-91 (9th Cir. 2000). We deny the petition.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s determination that Rahro did not establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of a statutorily enumerated ground. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 , 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992) (holding that the court must uphold the denial of asylum unless the record compels a contrary conclusion).
Rahro’s challenge to the BIA’s streamlining procedures is foreclosed by Carriche v. Ashcroft, No. 02-71143, 2003 WL 22770121 , at *3 (9th Cir. Nov.24, 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
