PER CURIAM:
Fen Min Chen, a native and citizen of the People’s
Republic of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board
of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal of the
Immigration Judge’s decision denying his requests for asylum and
withholding of removal. * We have thoroughly reviewed the record,
including the relevant exhibits and the transcript of Chen’s
merits hearing. We conclude that the record evidence does not
compel a ruling contrary to that of the agency, see 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4)(B) (2012), and that substantial evidence supports
the agency’s decision. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478,
481 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for
the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Chen, No. A087 908
877 (B.I.A. Mar. 21, 2014). 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
*
Chen does not dispute the agency’s denial of his request
for protection under the Convention Against Torture.
