January 16, 2002
Before DeMOSS, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ameer Ali, Farida Amir Ali, and Saima Amir Ali request review
of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") which
dismissed their appeal from the immigration judge's decision to
deny their application for asylum and for withholding of
deportation because they had not met their burden of proof. They
argue that they presented sufficient evidence to establish a well-
founded fear of persecution and that the BIA erroneously required

them to have detailed knowledge of the persecuted group to which
they claimed membership.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs and determine that
the Board's decision is supported by substantial evidence. See
Carbajal-Gonzalez v. INS, 78 F.3d 194, 197 (5th Cir. 1996).
Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.
