The following excerpt is from Turcios-Chavarria v. I.N.S., 91 F.3d 155 (9th Cir. 1996):
Petitioner first argues that the BIA decision denying asylum is not supported by substantial evidence. The BIA can only be reversed if the "evidence presented ... [is] such that a reasonable factfinder would have to conclude that the requisite fear of persecution existed," and its decision must be upheld if supported by substantial evidence in the record. INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992).
