   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1940
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge and the BIA did not err in concluding that the physical attacks plaintiffs suffered in their home village had not been severe enough to rise to the level of persecution because they were not life threatening; nor did the other detrimental conditions they suffered as Evangelical Christians, such as denial of services, rise to the level of persecution; even if the petitioners had suffered past persecution, they were not entitled to withholding of removal because they could avoid future persecution by reasonably relocating to a larger city, such as Oaxaca City, where their families relocated.
