PER CURIAM:
Kevin Alexander Flores Lemus, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming without opinion the
Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record and Flores
Lemus’ claims 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. In re Flores Lemus (B.I.A. Jan. 9, 2023).
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
