PER CURIAM:

     Appellant Bayush Mehari seeks review of the Board of Immigra-

tion Appeals' opinion and order dismissing her appeal and affirming

as modified the immigration judge's decision denying her applica-

tion for asylum and withholding of deportation. Our review of the

record discloses that the Board's decision is based on substantial
evidence and is without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the Board. Mehari v. INS, No. A29-919-149 (B.I.A.
Jan. 8, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the material before

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
