PER CURIAM:
Patrick Mattete, a native and citizen of Tanzania,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals affirming the Immigration Judge’s order denying his
applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection
under the Convention Against Torture. Mattete disputes the finding
that he failed to meet his burden of proof to qualify for
withholding of removal. We have reviewed the record and conclude
that substantial evidence supports the finding that Mattete failed
to demonstrate eligibility for this relief. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1208.16(b) (2005).
We accordingly 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
