   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1279
   Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Hansen and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Petition for Review - Immigration. While petitioners evidence showed
   a well-founded fear of criminal violence, it did not establish persecution
   as the actions against them were taken by private actors and the evidence
   showed the Salvadoran government had investigated and prosecuted the
   person accused of killing members of their family; similarly, threats from
   the criminal's family lacked any government imprimatur and did not
   amount to persecution; even if the petitioners had a well-founded fear of
   persecution, there was no evidence they feared persecution on any of the
   grounds enumerated in Sec. 1101(a)(42)(A) of the Act.
