Mouktar Abdullahi Aynan, a native of Somalia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming, without opinion, the immigration judge’s order granting withholding of removal, but denying asylum and protection under the Convention Against Torture.

*567 We find the immigration judge’s decision denying Aynan asylum as a matter of discretion was not manifestly contrary to law or an abuse of discretion. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(D) (2000). 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
