    No. 14-2374.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: April 9, 2015.
    Decided: April 16, 2015.
    Elena Chepurina, Petitioner Pro Se. Joyce R. Branda, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Dalin Riley Holyoak, Office of Immigration Litigation, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
    Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
   Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Elena Chepurina, a native and citizen of Russia, 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 and withholding of removal. We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Chepurina’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) (2012), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Chepurina (B.I.A. Nov. 18, 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. 
      
       To the extent that Chepurina seeks to challenge the immigration judge's denial of her request for protection under the Convention Against Torture, we lack jurisdiction on the ground that Chepurina failed to exhaust her administrative remedies before the Board. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2012); Massis v. Mukasey, 549 F.3d 631, 638-40 (4th Cir. 2008).
