Hui Chen v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Hui Chen, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) vacating the Immigration Judge’s grant of her application for asylum, and ordering her removed from the United States.
Chen first challenges the determination that she failed to establish eligibility for asylum. To obtain reversal of a determination denying eligibility for relief, an alien “must show that the evidence he presented was so compelling that no reasonable fact-finder 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 find that the Board applied the proper standard of review, and that Chen fails to show that the evidence compels the conclusion that she qualified for asylum. Having failed to qualify for asylum, Chen cannot meet the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. Chen v. INS, 195 F.3d 198, 205 (4th Cir. 1999); INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, 480 U.S. 421, 430, 107 S.Ct. 1207, 94 L.Ed.2d 434 (1987).
We accordingly deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials be *340 fore the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED.
