PER CURIAM:

           Fnu Amelia, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions

for   review   of   an   order    of   the    Board   of   Immigration   Appeals

affirming without opinion the Immigration Judge’s denial of her

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 Amelia fails to show that the evidence compels a

contrary result.         Having failed to qualify for asylum, Amelia

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

      *
      Amelia does not challenge the finding that she failed to
qualify for protection under the Convention Against Torture.
