PER CURIAM:
Maria Antonia Mejia-Cantarero, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal
from the Immigration Judge’s denial of her applications for withholding of removal and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the transcript of Mejia-Cantarero’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 Mejia-Cantarero (B.I.A. Feb. 9, 2022). 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
