MEMORANDUM **
Luis Enrique Quevedo (“petitioner”), and his three children, Monica Del Pilar *53 Quevedo, Natali Quevedo, and Luis Enrique Quevedo, Jr., all natives and citizens of Peru, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“U”) denial of their applications for asylum and withholding of deportation. We review the IJ’s decision for substantial evidence and may reverse only if the evidence compels such a result. INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 , 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s finding that petitioners failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution based on an enumerated ground. Because petitioner was the subject of a criminal investigation regarding the operation of his import business, and was subpoenaed and given an opportunity to appear with his defense attorney and defend himself, and there is no evidence that petitioner was ever questioned on account of an enumerated ground, petitioner fails to establish eligibility for asylum. See id.
