PER CURIAM:
Anissa A. Idris, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)
denying her application for asylum and withholding of deportation.
The Board concluded that Idris failed to present credible evidence
to show past persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on
account of a protected ground that would make her eligible for
asylum relief. See 8 U.S.C.A. § 1158 (West 1999); 8 U.S.C.A. §
1101(a)(42)(A) (West 1999 & Supp. 2001). The Board’s decision to
grant or deny asylum relief is conclusive “unless manifestly
contrary to the law and an abuse of discretion.” 8 U.S.C.A. §
1252(b)(4)(D) (West 1999). We find that the Board correctly
applied the law and did not abuse its discretion in rendering its
decision here. Therefore, we deny a petition for review on the
reasoning of the Board. Idris v. United States Immigration &
Naturalization Serv., BIA No. A74-638-974 (B.I.A. Feb. 28, 2001).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
