PER CURIAM:
Xiomara Yamileth Hernandez-Cea, a native and citizen
of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing her appeal from the
immigration judge’s denial of her requests for asylum,
withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record,
including the transcript of Hernandez-Cea’s merits hearing and
all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence
does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative
factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2012), and that
substantial evidence supports the adverse credibility finding.
See Tewabe v. Gonzales, 446 F.3d 533, 538 (4th Cir. 2006).* We
further conclude that a review of Hernandez-Cea’s independent
corroborating evidence does not compel a different result.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Hernandez-Cea (B.I.A.
May 22, 2014). We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
* The agency’s denial of Hernandez-Cea’s request for
protection under the Convention Against Torture is likewise
supported by substantial evidence. See Dankam v. Gonzales, 495
F.3d 113, 124 (4th Cir. 2007) (setting forth standard of
review).
