PER CURIAM:
Eskedar Teshome-Gebreegziabher, a native and citizen of
Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals affirming the Immigration Judge’s denial of her
applications for relief from removal. Teshome challenges the
determination that she failed to establish eligibility for asylum.
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 Teshome fails to show that the evidence compels a
contrary result.
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
