Before CUDAHY, RIPPLE, and KANNE, Circuit Judges.


CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.

Denada M. Bace petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA's) rejection of her and her husband's application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture Act. We find that the BIA's decision to deny asylum was not supported by substantial evidence. We therefore vacate the BIA's order and remand for further proceedings.
