PER CURIAM:
Haddas Fisseha, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) affirming, without opinion, the immigration
judge’s order denying her applications for asylum, withholding of
removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
In her petition for review, Fisseha challenges the
immigration judge’s determination that she failed to establish her
eligibility for asylum. To obtain reversal of a determination
denying eligibility for relief, an alien “must show that the
evidence [s]he presented was so compelling that no reasonable
factfinder could fail to find the requisite fear of persecution.”
INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84 (1992). We have
reviewed the evidence of record and conclude that Fisseha fails to
show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Accordingly, we
cannot grant the relief that she seeks.
We deny the petition for review. We also deny Fisseha’s
motion for a stay of voluntary departure nunc pro tunc. See
Ngarurih v. Ashcroft, ___ F.3d ___, 2004 WL 1277041, at *10 (4th
Cir. June 10, 2004). 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
