MEMORANDUM **
Isabel C. Landucci, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of *724 the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence and may reverse only if the evidence compels a contrary conclusion. Rostomian v. INS, 210 F.3d 1088, 1089 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s decision that petitioner failed to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of an enumerated ground. Any mistreatment that petitioner may have experienced did not occur on account of an enumerated ground. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 482-84 , 112 S.Ct. 812 , 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). Her asylum claim accordingly fails.
Because petitioner failed to demonstrate eligibility for asylum, she did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Garcia-Ramos v. INS, 775 F.2d 1370, 1373 (9th Cir.1985).
