PER CURIAM:
Andre Marie Songue, a native and citizen of Cameroon,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) affirming the immigration judge’s denial of his
applications for asylum and withholding of removal.
On appeal, Songue raises challenges to the Board’s and
immigration judge’s determinations that he failed to establish his
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 Songue fails to
show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Accordingly, we
cannot grant the relief that Songue seeks.
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
