Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Luljeta Deraj, a native and citizen of Albania, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (Board) order denying her asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
We will reverse the Board only if the evidence " "was so compelling that no reasonable fact finder could fail to find the requisite fear of persecution.' " Rusu v. U.S. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 325 n. 14 (4th Cir.2002) (quoting INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992)). We have reviewed the evidence of record, the immigration judge's decision, and the Board's order and find substantial evidence supports the conclusion that Deraj failed to establish the past persecution or well-founded fear of future persecution necessary to establish eligibility for asylum. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(a) (2004) (stating that the burden of proof is on the alien to establish eligibility for asylum); Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. at 483 (same).
Accordingly, we deny Deraj's 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
Deraj does not seek review of that part of the order that denied withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
