Perez v. Gonzales
Opinion
Luis Hernando Perez, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming, without opinion, the immigration judge’s denial of his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. * In his petition for review, Perez challenges the immigration judge’s determination that he failed to establish his eligibility for asylum. To obtain reversal of a decision denying eligibility for relief, an alien “must show that the evidence he presented was so compelling that no reasonable factfinder could fail to find the requisite fear of persecution.” INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We have reviewed the evidence of record and conclude that Perez fails to show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the *326 materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED.
Perez does not challenge the immigration judge’s denial of withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture. Therefore, these claims are waived. Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n. 6 (4th Cir. 1999).
