PER CURIAM:

Gabriel Ismael Gutierrez Mejia, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for 

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal 

from the immigration judge’s decision denying his application for deferral of removal 

under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the administrative 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), and that substantial evidence supports the 

denial of relief, see INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992). We therefore deny 

the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Gutierrez Mejia (B.I.A. 

Apr. 15, 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
