Husein v. Ashcroft
Opinion
Feruza Aman Husein, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions this court for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming without opinion the immigration judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. * Husein *884 contends that she provided detailed, consistent and plausible testimony sufficient to support her asylum claim. See 8 U.S.C.A. § 1158 (West 1999 & Supp. 2003); 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(42)(A) (2000). We have reviewed the record, the immigration judge’s decision, and the Board’s conclusion, and find that substantial evidence supports the immigration judge in his ruling that Husein failed to establish refugee status. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4) (2000); see Matter of Y-B-, 21 I. & N. Dec. 1136, 1139, 1998 WL 99554 (BIA 1998); Matter of S-M-J-, 21 I. & N. Dec. 722, 724-26, 1997 WL 80984 (BIA 1997). Therefore, 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
Husein failed to argue her right to the latter two forms of relief on appeal, and thus has *884 waived the issues. See Fed. R.App. P. 28(a)(6); Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n. 6 (4th Cir. 1999); 11126 Baltimore Blvd., Inc. v. Prince George’s County, Md., 58 F.3d 988, 993 n. 7 (4th Cir. 1995).
