PER CURIAM:
Wilfred Mokoko Nasama Mukete, a native and citizen of
Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the Immigration
Judge’s denial of his applications for relief from removal.
Mukete 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,
502 U.S. 478, 483-84
(1992). We have reviewed the evidence of record and conclude
that Mukete fails to show that the evidence compels a contrary
result.
Having failed to qualify for asylum, Mukete cannot
meet the more stringent standard 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). Finally, we uphold
the finding below that Mukete failed to demonstrate that it is
more likely than not that he would be tortured if removed to
Cameroon. 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2) (2010).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
2
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
