   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2922
   Agency   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Petition for review - Immigration. In order for this court to reverse a
   finding that alleged persecution was not based on a protected ground, the
   evidence must compel a finding that the protected ground motivated the
   persecution; here, the evidence, while it might support a finding that
   soldiers beat petitioners based on imputed political opinion, does not
   compel such a finding; because the court affirms the BIA's finding that
   petitioners failed to prove an improper motive in the soldiers' actions, the
   burden of showing a fear of future persecution fell on petitioners, and the
   they failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution.
