PER CURIAM:
Eriwati Sujono, a native and citizen of Indonesia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals affirming the Immigration Judge’s denial of her
applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection
under the Convention Against Torture. Sujono challenges the
Board’s finding that she failed to qualify for asylum and
withholding of removal.
To obtain reversal of a determination denying eligibility
for relief, an alien “must show that the evidence 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 Sujono fails to show that the evidence compels a
contrary result. Having failed to qualify for asylum, Sujono
cannot meet the higher standard to qualify for withholding of
removal. Chen v. INS, 195 F.3d 198, 205 (4th Cir. 1999); INS v.
Cardoza-Fonseca, 480 U.S. 421, 430 (1987).
Accordingly, 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
