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
