PER CURIAM:
Yi Dong Chen, 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
relief from removal.
Chen challenges the determination that he 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 Chen fails to show that the evidence compels a contrary
result. Having failed to qualify for asylum, Chen cannot meet
the more stringent standard 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
