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) (explaining the standard of review and what it takes to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution). She has conceded her inability to show past persecution, and 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). -2-
