PER CURIAM:
Maria Carmela Pena, a native and citizen of El Salvador,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the Immigration
Judge’s denial of her requests for asylum, withholding of
removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We
have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and conclude
that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision. See
INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992). We accordingly
deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In re: Pena (B.I.A. July 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
