MEMORANDUM **
Sergio Jasso, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) dismissing his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and cancellation of' removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 to review the denial of Jasso’s application for asylum and withholding of removal. We review the BIA’s factual findings for substantial evidence. Gormley v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th *319 Cir.2004). We deny in part, and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The record does not compel a finding that Jasso satisfied his burden of proving past persecution. See Prasad v. INS, 47 F.3d 336, 340 (9th Cir.1995). In addition, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Jasso did not demonstrate an objectively reasonable fear of future persecution. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir.2003). Accordingly, Jasso necessarily failed to satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).
