Singh

MEMORANDUM **

Darshan Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of *897 Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision, which affirmed the Immigration Judge’s order denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 .

Where, as here, the BIA made an independent determination of whether relief is appropriate, this Court reviews the decision of the BIA. See Molina-Morales v. INS, 237 F.3d 1048, 1050 (9th Cir.2001). We review for substantial evidence, Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1015 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Singh was not arrested on account of a protected ground, and thus did not establish past persecution. See Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d 1482, 1491 (9th Cir.1997); see also Dinu v. Ashcroft, 372 F.3d 1041, 1044-45 (9th Cir.2004). Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s conclusion that Singh does not have a well-founded fear of future persecution in light of current country conditions. See Nagoulko, 333 F.3d at 1015, 1018 ; see also Acewicz v. INS, 984 F.2d 1056,…
