PER CURIAM:

     Bekelech Teresa petitions this court to review the denial of

her application for asylum by the Board of Immigrations Appeals

(Board). We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order denying

asylum and find no reversible error.   Accordingly the petition for

review is dismissed and we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.

See Bekelech v. INS, No. A72-416-950 (BIA Sept. 14, 1998).    We dis-

pense 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.




                                                             AFFIRMED
