PER CURIAM:

Zeleke Yonas-Aga, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, 

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 and 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, 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 Yonas-Aga (B.I.A. 

Apr. 8, 2015). 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
