The following excerpt is from Dominguez-Castillo v. I.N.S., 98 F.3d 1345 (9th Cir. 1996):
2 Because Dominguez-Castillo failed to establish eligibility for asylum, he cannot satisfy the higher standard required for withholding of deportation. "[F]ailure to satisfy the lesser standard of proof required to establish eligibility for asylum necessarily results in a failure to demonstrate eligibility for withholding of deportation as well." Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1429 (9th Cir.1995).
