On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Agency No. A205-934-761

Before: SILVERMAN, MILLER, and BUMATAY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM [*]

Gurjit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's factual findings. Garcia-Milian v. Holder, 755 F.3d 1026, 1031 (9th Cir. 2014). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that Singh failed to establish he experienced harm that rises to the level of persecution. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1016 (9th Cir. 2003) ("Persecution . . . is an extreme concept that does not include every sort of treatment our society regards as offensive." (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); see also Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir. 2003) (unfulfilled threats constituted harassment rather than persecution). Substantial evidence also supports the agency's determination that Singh did not establish a well-founded fear of future persecution. Nagoulko, 333 F.3d at 1018 (possibility of future persecution "too speculative"). Thus, Singh's asylum claim fails.

We reject as unsupported by the record Singh's contentions that the agency violated his right to due process or otherwise erred in its analysis of his claims.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
