DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Santos E. Lopez Perez, a native and citizen of Nicaragua, 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, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the transcript of Lopez Perez’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), and that substantial
evidence supports the denial of relief in this case, 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 Lopez Perez (B.I.A. Apr. 13, 2020). 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
