PER CURIAM:
Fatou Njie, a native and citizen of Gambia, petitions for review of an order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the immigration judge’s
decision denying her requests for withholding of removal and protection under the
Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the
transcript of Njie’s merits hearing before the immigration court 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 INS v. Elias–Zacarias, 502 U.S.
478, 481 (1992).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.
In re Njie (B.I.A. Feb. 28, 2017). 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
