PER CURIAM:
Song Hui Shi, a native and citizen of China, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
affirming the Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for
asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture (CAT).
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 Shi fails to show that the evidence compels a
contrary result. Having failed to qualify for asylum, Shi 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). Further, we uphold the
Immigration Judge’s finding that Shi failed to establish
eligibility for CAT protection. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2)
(2007).
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
