Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Petitioners seek review of the decision of the Board of Immi-

gration Appeals denying relief on their application for asylum and

withholding of deportation. Our review of the record discloses that

the Board's decision is based upon substantial evidence and is

without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. Linares v. INS, Nos. A73-700-351; A73-700-352 (B.I.A. Jan. 24, 1997). 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.

AFFIRMED
