PER CURIAM:

      Meilan Lin, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, petitions for

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

from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Lin’s application for asylum and

withholding of removal. We have considered Lin’s claims after thoroughly reviewing 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, 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.

See In re Lin (B.I.A. Mar. 29, 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
