PER CURIAM:
Leslie Ebot Jones, a native and citizen of Cameroon,
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.* As discussed
below, we deny the petition for review.
Jones asserts that she established her eligibility for
asylum by showing past persecution and a well-founded fear of
future persecution. 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 Jones fails to make the
requisite showing.
We accordingly 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
*
Because petitioner appeals only her asylum claim, we do not
consider her applications for withholding of removal or protection
under the Convention Against Torture.
