Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Appellant Bayush Mehari seeks review of the Board of Immigra- tion Appeals' opinion and order dismissing her appeal and affirming as modified the immigration judge's decision denying her applica- tion for asylum and withholding of deportation. Our review of the record discloses that the Board's decision is based on substantial evidence and is without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. Mehari v. INS, No. A29-919-149 (B.I.A. Jan. 8, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the material before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
