1Opinion of the Court

GOODWIN, Circuit Judge:

Anatoly Michaelovich Kozulin petitions for review of the denial by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) of his application for asylum and withholding of deportation under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(a), 1253(h) (1994). We deny the petition, because substantial evidence supports the conclusion that Kozulin failed to prove: (1) that any mistreatment he suffered was on account of his political opinion, or (2) that upon his return to Russia he risks disproportionately severe punishment for his illegal departure to the United States.
