Petitioner petitioned for review of an order of the BIA that dismissed her appeal of the denial of asylum and withholding of removal.  

Where petitioner failed to exhaust her challenge to the determination that she did not demonstrate that she suffered any harm due to her cognizable social group, the wavier of that claim was dispositive of her appeal. 

Petition is denied.
