PER CURIAM:
Jose Danis Machado-Marquez, 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 requests for asylum and withholding of
removal. We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of
Machado-Marquez’s merits hearing and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the
record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative agency’s
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.
See In re Machado-Marquez (B.I.A. Dec. 15, 2017). We deny Machado-Marquez’s
motion to hold case in abeyance and 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
