PER CURIAM:
Idil Hassan Aleel, a native and citizen of Somalia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) affirming, without opinion, the immigration
judge’s order denying her applications for asylum and withholding
of removal.
In her petition for review, Aleel challenges the
immigration judge’s determination that she failed to establish her
eligibility for asylum. To obtain reversal of a determination
denying eligibility for relief, an alien “must show that the
evidence [s]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 (1992). We have
reviewed the evidence of record and conclude that Aleel fails to
show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Accordingly, we
cannot grant the relief that she seeks.
Additionally, to the extent that Aleel claims that the
Board’s use of the summary affirmance procedure set forth in
8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(e)(4) (2004) violated her rights under the Due
Process Clause, we find that this claim is squarely foreclosed by
our recent decision in Blanco de Belbruno v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 272
(4th Cir. 2004). We further find that summary affirmance was
appropriate in this case under the factors set forth in
§ 1003.1(e)(4).

We have reviewed Aleel’s remaining claims and find them
to be without merit. 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
