PER CURIAM:
Ying Song Lin, a native and citizen of China, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
affirming the Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for
asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture.
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 higher standard to qualify 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
