Petition for review of a decision denying asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture is denied where: 1) substantial evidence supported an Immigration Judge’s determination that plaintiff was not persecuted on account of a statutorily protected ground, and that the most likely impetus for the acts against him was greed, not politics; and 2) the court did not violate plaintiff’s due process rights in refusing to grant him a further continuance as he was not prejudiced by the denial.
