   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1040
   Agency   
   Petition for review - Immigration. Brief periods of detention petitioner 
   allegedly suffered as a result of his membership in the Lebanese Force 
   did not constitute past persecution, and he failed to show a reasonably 
   objective fear of future persecution if he was returned to Lebanon; 
   Board's summary affirmance procedures did not violate petitioner's 
   rights.
