PER CURIAM.
Aura Ramirez-Lopez challenges the denial of her application for asylum and
withholding of removal. The evidence in the record does not show that she is eligible
for relief. See Lemus-Arita v. Sessions, 854 F.3d 476, 480, 482 (8th Cir. 2017)

substantial evidence supports the conclusion that she has no well-founded fear of
future persecution.1 See id. at 482. We accordingly deny the petition for review.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
______________________________
1 Given this conclusion, it is unnecessary to address any of the other arguments
she raises. See Cano v. Barr, 956 F.3d 1034, 1040 & n.4 (8th Cir. 2020); see also
Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir. 2004) (discussing waiver).
