PER CURIAM:
Getachew Woldearegay 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 Woldearegay failed to
establish a well-founded fear of persecution. Accordingly, we deny
Woldearegay’s petition for review on the reasoning of the Board.
See Woldearegay v. INS, No. A70-817-716 (B.I.A. Jan. 30, 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
