PER CURIAM:
Cris Fabiola Canales-Reyes, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the
immigration judge’s decision denying her applications for asylum, withholding of
removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly
reviewed the record, including the various documentary exhibits, the transcript of
Canales-Reyes’ merits hearing, and her supporting evidence. We conclude that the
record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the 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 Canales-Reyes (B.I.A. Sept. 9, 2016). 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
