                         November 11, 1999

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Suhardy petitions this court to review the decision of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his application for

asylum and withholding of deportation.   Suhardy contends that he

established a well-founded fear of persecution by non-

governmental groups based on his sexual orientation.

     We have reviewed the record, the BIA’s decision, and the

briefs and determine that the evidence does not compel reversal

     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
