*Ndole Disue does not challenge on appeal the denial of
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We therefore find
that she has waived appellate review of this claim. See Edwards v.
City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999).

PER CURIAM:
Jennet Senge Ndole Disue, a native and citizen of
Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (Board) affirming the immigration judge’s
denial of her requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. * Ndole Disue
challenges the Board’s finding that her testimony was not credible
and that she otherwise failed to meet her burden of proof to
qualify for asylum. We will uphold a negative credibility
determination if it is supported by substantial evidence, see
Tewabe v. Gonzales, 446 F.3d 533, 538 (4th Cir. 2006), and reverse
the Board’s decision only if the evidence “was so compelling that
no reasonable fact finder could fail to find the requisite fear of
persecution.” Rusu v. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 325 n.14 (4th Cir. 2002)
(internal quotations and citations omitted).
We have reviewed the administrative record and the
Board’s decision and find that substantial evidence supports the
adverse credibility finding and the ruling that Ndole Disue failed
to establish past persecution or a well-founded fear of future
persecution as necessary to establish eligibility for asylum. See
8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(a) (2006) (stating that the burden of proof is

on the alien to establish eligibility for asylum); INS v.
Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483 (1992) (same). Similarly,
because Ndole Disue does not qualify for asylum, she is ineligible
for withholding of removal. See Camara v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 361,
367 (4th Cir. 2004).
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
