MEMORANDUM*
Nimrita Devi, a native and citizen of Fiji, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") dismissal of her appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying her application for asylum and withholding of deportation pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(a) and 1253(h). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a), and we deny the petition.
Devi contends that the BIA erred because it failed to provide an adequate statement of reasons for denying her application for asylum and withholding of deportation. This contention lacks merit.
In its decision, the BIA stated that it reviewed the record, the IJ's decision, and Devils contentions on appeal. Accordingly, the BIA clearly gave individualized consideration to Devi's case and did not err by adopting the IJ's decision. See Alaelua v. INS, 45 F.3d 1379, 1382 (9th Cir.1995).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
