Ladyha v. Holder, No. 09-1294

In asylum proceedings involving a native of Belarus, petition for review of the BIA's denial of the asylum application is denied where: 1) petitioner did not demonstrate that the record evidence compelled reversal on the basis of past persecution; and 2) as the BIA reasonably concluded that petitioner did not meet the lesser burden of establishing a basis for asylum, he could not show that withholding was necessary.
