   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-2068
   Appeal from Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. The IJ's finding that petitioner had not suffered past persecution was supported by substantial evidence; the BIA's finding that Guatemalans returning from the U.S. who are perceived as wealthy did not constitute a particular and socially visible group such that they could be perceived as a group and targeted for persecution was supported by substantial evidence; the agency did not err in finding that petitioner did not show a well-founded fear of persecution upon return to Guatemala on account of his membership in a particular social group; withholding of removal was properly denied as petitioner did not meet the less rigorous test for asylum; CAT claim was raised for the first time on appeal and would not be considered on appeal.
