122796P.pdf 04/22/2013 Rosa Gutierrez v. Eric H. Holder, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2796
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Petitioner failed to establish that it
would have been unreasonable for her to relocate in Columbia as required
under the federal regulations outlining the eligibility requirements for
withholding of removal - 8 C.F.R. Sec. 1208.16(b)(2) - and the IJ and
BIA did not err in finding she was not eligible for withholding of
removal; further, proceeding to the merits of her claim, the record showed
she had not suffered past persecution which would create a presumption
that she has a well-founded fear of future persecution and she had not
shown a clear probability of future persecution on a protected ground; no
error in denying CAT relief.
