Respondent.

Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A95 455 372

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Riaz Momin, a citizen of India, petitions this court for
review of an order of the denial of his applications for asylum,
withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against
Torture (“CAT”). The Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”)

under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

he returned to India. However, because the record does not
compel a finding that Momin was entitled to any of the relief he
sought, Momin has failed to show that the decision was not

502 U.S. 478, 483-84 (1992); Faddoul v. INS, 37 F.3d 185, 188
(5th Cir. 1994).; Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 906-07 (5th Cir.
2002).
Momin’s petition for review therefore is DENIED.
