Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Omar Mohammed Tobeh, a Jordanian citizen, petitions for review
of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Tobeh
contends that he has shown that he was persecuted in Kuwait and
Jordan and is, therefore, entitled to asylum in the United States
or, in the alternative, that he has a clear probability of
persecution if returned to Jordan and is, therefore, eligible for

withholding of deportation.
The BIA concluded that Tobeh did not prove persecution while
in Kuwait or Jordan and is not entitled to asylum. Further, the
BIA found that Tobeh did not show any persecution in Jordan or
prove that any future persecution would take place and was not
entitled to withholding of deportation. A review of the record
indicates substantial evidence to support the BIA’s decision and no
compelling evidence in favor of Tobeh. See Castillo-Rodriguez V.
INS, 929 F.2d 183, 184 (5th Cir. 1991); INS v. Elias-Zacharias, 502
U.S. 478, 483-84 (1992). Thus, Tobeh failed to carry his burden
and, accordingly, he was denied asylum and withholding of
deportation.
This petition for review is
DENIED.
