PER CURIAM:

Nde Melvis Ngwenyi, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions for review of an 

order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the 

immigration judge’s denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and 

protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the 

record, including the transcript of Ngwenyi’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) (2018)—including the 

adverse credibility finding—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 Ngwenyi (B.I.A. July 5, 2019). 

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
