United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 14-1568 ___________________________ William Jacinto Pineda-Villalobos lllllllllllllllllllllPetitioner v. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General of the United States lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent ____________ Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ____________ Submitted: October 24, 2014 Filed: October 28, 2014 [Unpublished] ____________ Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. El Salvadoran citizen William Jacinto Pineda-Villalobos (Pineda) petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) upholding an immigration judge s (IJ s) denial of withholding of removal. We agree with the IJ and the BIA that Pineda failed to establish that he qualified for withholding of removal. See De Castro-Gutierrez v. Holder, 713 F.3d 375, 379 (8th Cir. 2013) (reviewing de novo questions of law; where BIA essentially adopts IJ s decision, but also adds its own reasoning, this court reviews both decisions together under substantial-evidence standard); see also 8 U.S.C. ยง 1231(b)(3)(A); Alavez-Hernandez v. Holder, 714 F.3d 1063, 1066 (8th Cir. 2013) (qualifications for withholding of removal). The petition for review is denied. ______________________________ -2-
