   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2269
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Gruender and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. The agency did not err in denying 
   petitioner's request for asylum as substantial evidence supported the 
   determination that he had not established a nexus between the persecution 
   he allegedly suffered and either of his proposed social group; further, 
   substantial evidence supported the determination that petitioner had not 
   suffered past persecution; third, petitioner failed to establish a 
   well-founded fear of future persecution if he were removed to Guatemala; 
   because petitioner failed to meet the standard for asylum, he cannot meet 
   the higher standard associated with withholding of removal; as petitioner 
   presented no evidence on his CAT claim beyond what was submitted in 
   support of his asylum claim, the CAT claim fails.
