The sentence at page 12060, lines 9-13 [122 F.3d at 1296], which reads:

“Because we conclude that Gonzales-Neyra established past persecution on account of his political opinion, we also hold that he was entitled to a rebuttable presumption that he had a well-founded fear that he would be similarly persecuted in the future.” is replaced by:

“Regardless of whether Gonzales-Neyra established past persecution on account of his political opinion, he established a well-founded fear of future persecution.”

The Petition for Rehearing is denied.
