  •                              NOT FOR PUBLICATION                           FILED
    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS                        DEC 20 2016
    MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
    U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
    JOSE QUINTEROS, AKA Jose Alfredo                  No.    14-73347
    Quinteros-Zavala,
    Agency No. A072-013-468
    Petitioner,
    v.                                              MEMORANDUM*
    LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,
    Respondent.
    On Petition for Review of an Order of the
    Board of Immigration Appeals
    Submitted December 14, 2016**
    Before:       WALLACE, LEAVY, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
    Jose Quinteros, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of
    the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an
    immigration judge’s decision denying his application for withholding of removal.
    We have jurisdiction under 
    8 U.S.C. § 1252
    . We review for substantial evidence
    *
    This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
    except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
    **
    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    the agency’s factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 
    453 F.3d 1182
    , 1184-85 (9th
    Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.
    Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Quinteros failed
    to establish a nexus between the harm he suffered and fears and his political
    opinion. See Parussimova v. Mukasey, 
    555 F.3d 734
    , 740 (9th Cir. 2009) (the
    REAL ID Act “requires that a protected ground represent ‘one central reason’ for
    an asylum applicant’s persecution”). Thus, Quintero’s withholding of removal
    claim fails. See Zetino v. Holder, 
    622 F.3d 1007
    , 1015-16 (9th Cir. 2010).
    PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
