PER CURIAM:

               Miguel Baltazar De Leon Vivas (“Petitioner”), a native

and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal

from     the     immigration        judge’s     denial       of     his     request    for

protection       under      the   Convention      Against         Torture.       We   have

thoroughly       reviewed     the     record,    including         the    transcript    of

Petitioner’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 Dankam v. Gonzales, 495 F.3d

113, 124 (4th Cir. 2007) (setting forth standard of review).

               Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the

reasons stated by the Board.              See In re: De Leon Vivas (B.I.A.

May 30, 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
