PER CURIAM:
Fatma Juma Khatib, a native and citizen of Tanzania,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) affirming the immigration judge’s decision
denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and
withholding under the Convention Against Torture. We deny the
petition for review.
We find the Board’s decision affirming the immigration
judge’s discretionary decision that Khatib was not eligible for
asylum was not manifestly contrary to the law or an abuse of
discretion. See 8 U.S.C. 1252(b)(4)(D)(2000). We further find
substantial evidence supports the immigration judge’s findings. We
do not find the evidence so compelling that it warrants a different
conclusion. Rusu v. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 325 n.14 (4th Cir. 2002).
Finally, we find no error in the Board’s summary
affirmance. See In re Burbano, 20 I. & N. 872, 874 (BIA 1994).
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
