PER CURIAM:
Edwin Josue Alvarado-Rivera, 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
Alvarado-Rivera’s 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 Alvarado-Rivera (B.I.A.
Nov. 17, 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
