PER CURIAM:
Jessica Sussette Illescas-Diaz, a native and citizen
of Guatemala, 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.
Illescas-Diaz 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 Illescas-Diaz fails to show that the evidence compels a
contrary result. Having failed to qualify for asylum,
Illescas-Diaz 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
