March 20, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:*
Gheorghe Dumbraveanu petitions this court to review the
decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his
applications for asylum and withholding of deportation. Mr.
Dumbraveanu argues that he was denied due process because a Board
of Immigration Appeals transmittal letter he received indicates
that the Immigration Judge who decided his case also sat on the
panel who ruled on his appeal. A review of the supplemental
record reveals that Mr. Dumbraveanu's impression is erroneous;
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 95-60389
-2-
the Immigration Judge before whom he appeared for his asylum
hearing was not a member of the panel who decided the appeal.
Mr. Dumbraveanu also contends that he established a well-
founded fear of persecution based on his political opinion. We
have reviewed the record, the BIA's decision, and the briefs and
determine that the evidence does not compel reversal of the BIA's
determination. Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76, 78 (5th Cir. 1994).
PETITION DENIED.
