PER CURIAM:
Huichun Lin, a native and citizen of China, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
dismissing her appeal from the Immigration Judge’s denial of her
applications for relief from removal.
Lin first 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 Lin fails to show that the evidence compels a contrary
result.
Having failed to qualify for asylum, Lin 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). Finally, we uphold the finding below
that Lin failed to demonstrate that it is more likely than not
that she would be tortured if removed to China. 8 C.F.R.
§ 1208.16(c)(2) (2011).
We accordingly deny the petition for review. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
2
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
