On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals.


Submitted:   March 29, 2006                 Decided:   April 11, 2006


Before GREGORY and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.


Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           D. P., a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”)

adopting and affirming the immigration judge’s order denying her

requests for asylum and 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 D. P. fails to show that the evidence compels a

contrary result. Accordingly, we uphold the denial of her requests

for asylum and withholding of removal.

           Additionally, D. P. challenges the immigration judge’s

denial of her request for relief under the Convention Against

Torture,   challenging     the    standards     applied    below    to    this

determination.   Because she failed to raise this claim before the

Board, however, we lack jurisdiction to consider it.            See Asika v.

Ashcroft, 
362 F.3d 264
, 267 n.3 (4th Cir. 2004), cert. denied, 
125 S. Ct. 861
(2005).

           Accordingly,    we    deny   the   petition    for   review.     We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions




                                   - 2 -
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                 PETITION DENIED
