PER CURIAM:
Juan Francisco Argueta-Marquez, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal
from the Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of
removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly
reviewed the record 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. 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
