PER CURIAM:
Shawn Houslin, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions for review of an order of
the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the Immigration
Judge’s decision denying his request for deferral of removal under the Convention Against
Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Houslin’s
merits hearing and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not
compel a ruling contrary to any of the agency’s factual findings, see 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision, see Gomis v.
Holder, 571 F.3d 353, 359 (4th Cir. 2009); Dankam v. Gonzales, 495 F.3d 113, 124 (4th
Cir. 2007). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In re Houslin (B.I.A. Mar. 17, 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
