Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Guatemalan citizen Maria Laura Lastor-Toj petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing her appeal from the decision of an immigration judge denying her asylum and withholding of removal. 2 Upon careful review, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the agency’s underlying determinations that (1) the discrimination and harassment Lastor-Toj suffered in Guatemala did not rise to the level of past persecution by persons whom the Guatemalan government was unwilling or unable to control; and (2) Lastor-Toj failed to prove a well-founded fear of future persecution in Guatemala. See Makatengkeng v. Gonzales, 495 F.3d 876, 885 (8th Cir. 2007).

The petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

2 . Lastor-Toj does not challenge the denial of . her request for protection under the Convention Against Torture.
