United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 09-3371 ___________ Carlos Juan-Francisco, * * Petitioner, * * Petition for Review of v. * an Order of the Board * of Immigration Appeals. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General * of the United States, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Respondent. * ___________ Submitted: April 29, 2010 Filed: May 5, 2010 ___________ Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Guatemalan citizen Carlos Juan-Francisco petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, which affirmed an immigration judge s denial of asylum and withholding of removal. We conclude that the decision was supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole. See Khrystotodorov v. Mukasey, 551 F.3d 775, 781 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review); Zacarias-Velasquez v. Mukasey, 509 F.3d 429, 433-34 (8th Cir. 2007) (persecution must be on account of protected ground); Mohamed v. Ashcroft, 396 F.3d 999, 1003 (8th Cir. 2005) (harm arising from general conditions such as civil war will not ordinarily support claim of persecution); Melecio-Saquil v. Ashcroft, 337 F.3d 983, 986-87 (8th Cir. 2003) (changed country conditions in Guatemala). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. ______________________________ -2-
