PER CURIAM:
Marinel Miclescu and his wife and minor children, natives and citizens of Romania,
petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing
their appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Miclescu’s request for asylum
and withholding of removal. We have thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that
the evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings,
see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief,
see INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition
for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Miclescu (B.I.A. Nov. 12, 2021).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED
