   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2287
   Agency   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Lay, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - immigration. Petitioner failed to establish past 
   persecution in Cameroon based on his political affiliation, as his 
   testimony about a single attack and a three-hour detention did not rise to 
   the level of persecution; Immigration Judge's decision to discount the 
   credibility of the documents petitioner submitted to support his 
   allegations of future persecution was supported by specific and cogent 
   reasons and was entitled to much weight; decision to deny asylum was 
   supported by reasonable, substantial and probative evidence; having 
   failed to meet his burden of proof with respect to asylum, petitioner could 
   not meet the higher standard of proof required to obtain withholding of 
   removal; BIA's decision not to reopen the case and remand for new 
   evidence was not an abuse of discretion and did not deny petitioner due 
   process. Judge Lay, dissenting on the issue of whether petitioner 
   established the likelihood of future persecution.
