PER CURIAM:
Abebe Tsegaye seeks review of the Board of Immigration
Appeals’ (“Board”) decision and order dismissing his appeal from
the immigration judge’s denial of his application for asylum and
withholding of deportation. We have reviewed the administrative
record and the Board’s decision and find that substantial evidence
supports the Board’s determination that Tsegaye failed to submit
sufficient evidence to establish eligibility for asylum.
Accordingly, we deny Tsegaye’s petition for review on the reasoning
of the Board. See Tsegaye v. INS, No. A70-683-731 (B.I.A. Jan. 4,
2002). 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
