Opinion by Judge BEEZER; Concurrence by Judge GRABER.
BEEZER, Circuit Judge:
Filomena Notario Rivera (“Rivera”), a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) dismissal of an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.

We deny the petition for review.
