PER CURIAM:
Feruza Aman Husein, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,
petitions this court for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals affirming without opinion the immigration
judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under
the Convention Against Torture.* Husein contends that she provided
detailed, consistent and plausible testimony sufficient to support
her asylum claim. See 8 U.S.C.A. § 1158 (West 1999 & Supp. 2003);
8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(42)(A) (2000). We have reviewed the record, the
immigration judge’s decision, and the Board’s conclusion, and find
that substantial evidence supports the immigration judge in his
ruling that Husein failed to establish refugee status. 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4) (2000); see Matter of Y-B-, 21 I. & N. Dec. 1136, 1139
(BIA 1998); Matter of S-M-J-, 21 I. & N. Dec. 722, 724-26 (BIA
1997). Therefore, we deny the petition for review. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
*
Husein failed to argue her right to the latter two forms of
relief on appeal, and thus has waived the issues. See Fed. R. App.
P. 28(a)(6); Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6
(4th Cir. 1999); 11126 Baltimore Blvd., Inc. v. Prince George’s
County, Md., 58 F.3d 988, 993 n.7 (4th Cir. 1995).
