023692P.pdf   02/19/2004  Vilma Menendez-Donis  v.  John Ashcroft
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3692
   Agency   
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Substantial evidence on the record 
   as a whole supported the immigration judge's conclusion that petitioner 
   had not been subjected to political persecution and that she did not have 
   a well-founded fear of future persecution if she returned to her native 
   Guatemala; while petitioner's rape by unknown assailants was a brutal 
   crime, there was evidence to support the immigration judge's finding that 
   it was not an act of political persecution, and petitioner was not entitled 
   to humanitarian asylum. Dissent by Judge Lay.
