Limones-Bravo

MEMORANDUM **

Eduardo Tichy Limones-Bravo, a native and citizen of Ecuador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from *575 an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, Nagoulko v.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding of no past persecution because unfulfilled threats generally do not constitute persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2003). In the absence of past persecution, Limones-Bra-vo is not entitled to a presumption of a well-founded fear of future persecution, see Nagoulko, 333 F.3d at 1018, and substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Limones-Bravo did not establish a well-founded fear of future persecution because he failed to show an objective basis for his fear of persecution given the current country conditions. See Gomes v. Gonzales, 429 F.3d 1264, 1267 (9th Cir.2005).…
