Vallejos v. Ashcroft
Citation: 103 F. App'x 148Docket: No. 02-73724
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; June 24, 2004; Federal Appellate Court
Carlos Antonio Campana Vallejos and Natalie Anna Acapari, a married couple from Peru, filed a pro se petition for review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that affirmed an Immigration Judge’s (IJ) denial of their asylum and withholding of removal application. The IJ's denial was based on the lack of evidence of past persecution, with the petitioners expressing only a generalized fear of civil strife and insecurity in Peru. The court found substantial evidence supporting the IJ's decision, stating that asylum is not typically granted for victims of civil strife unless they are targeted for reasons related to a protected ground. Consequently, the petition for review was denied. This decision is not intended for publication and cannot be cited in future cases, in accordance with Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
