PER CURIAM:

          Thuya Maung, a native and citizen of Burma, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals adopting and

affirming the Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for

relief from removal.

          Maung first challenges the determination that he failed

to establish eligibility for asylum.         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, 

, 483-84 (1992).              We have

reviewed the evidence of record and conclude that Maung fails to

show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Having failed to

qualify for asylum, Maung cannot meet the more stringent standard

for withholding of removal.    Chen v. INS, 

, 205 (4th

Cir. 1999); INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, 

, 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
