Karima Lotfy Mikhail, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals adopting and affirming the Immigration Judge’s order denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Mikhail contends that the Board and Immigration Judge erred in finding her ineligible for withholding of removal and relief pursuant to CAT.

“To qualify for withholding of removal, a petitioner must show that he faces a clear probability of persecution because of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Rusu v. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 324 n. 13 (4th Cir. 2002) (citing INS v. Stevic, 467 U.S. 407, 430, 104 S.Ct. 2489, 81 L.Ed.2d 321 (1984)). To qualify for protection under the Convention Against Torture, a petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that “it is more likely than not that he or she would be tortured if removed to the proposed country of removal.” 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2) (2005). Having conducted our review, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that Mikhail failed to meet these standards.

We accordingly 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.
