On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, Agency No. A78-051-642.
Before: TROTT, W. FLETCHER, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Ahmad Al Jaafreh, a Palestinian citizen of Jordan, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the denial of asylum. See Ladha v. INS, 215 F.3d 889, 896 (9th Cir. 2000). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's conclusion that Al Jaafreh failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution, and thereby failed to show he was eligible for asylum. Al Jaafreh conceded he did not suffer past persecution and he did not "adduc[e] credible, direct, and specific evidence . . . of facts that would support a reasonable fear of persecution." Id. at 897. Al Jaafreh's documentary evidence relating to general country conditions and testimony fail to establish "some basis in reality or reasonable possibility" that Al Jaafreh would be persecuted. Garcia-Ramos v. INS, 775 F.2d 1370, 1374 (9th Cir. 1985).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
