consideration, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the decision. See De

review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

The IJ also denied asylum and protection under the Convention Against
Torture, but those rulings are not before this court. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft,
367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir. 2004).
