Leonel Antonio MEJIA-PAIZ, Petitioner-Appellant, v. IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided April 17, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Xavier J. Vega, Los Angeles, California, for petitioner-appellant.

John L. Davis, Office of Immigration Litigation, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for respondent-appellee.

Before: CHOY, SNEED, and FERGUSON, Circuit Judges.

Opinion by Judge SNEED; Dissent by Judge FERGUSON.

SNEED, Circuit Judge:

Leonel Antonio Mejia-Paiz petitions this court for review of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) denial of his application for political asylum and withholding of deportation. Because substantial evidence supports the decisions of the immigration judge ("IJ") and the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), we deny his petition.
