*860 MEMORANDUM ***

Marco Tulio Giraldo, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals summarily affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum and withholding of deportation. Because the transitional rules apply, Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997), we have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). We review for substantial evidence, Malhi v.
