    PER CURIAM:
    Miguel Baltazar De Leon Vivas (“Petitioner”), a native
    and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of
    the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal
    from     the     immigration        judge’s     denial       of     his     request    for
    protection       under      the   Convention      Against         Torture.       We   have
    thoroughly       reviewed     the     record,    including         the    transcript    of
    Petitioner’s merits hearing and all supporting evidence.                                We
    conclude       that   the    record    evidence       does   not     compel      a   ruling
    contrary to any of the administrative factual findings, see 
    8 U.S.C. § 1252
    (b)(4)(B)        (2012),     and   that     substantial        evidence
    supports the Board’s decision.                See Dankam v. Gonzales, 
    495 F.3d 113
    , 124 (4th Cir. 2007) (setting forth standard of review).
    Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
    reasons stated by the Board.              See In re: De Leon Vivas (B.I.A.
    May 30, 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
