PER CURIAM:

       Oscar Osmin Serrano-Aguilar, 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 withholding of removal. * We have

thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Serrano-Aguilar’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

Gomis, 571 F.3d at 359.

       Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.

See In re Serrano-Aguilar (B.I.A. Dec. 30, 2016). 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

       *
        Serrano-Aguilar does not challenge the denial of his request for protection under
the Convention Against Torture or the denial of his asylum claim as untimely and has
therefore waived appellate review. See Ngarurih v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 182, 189 n.7 (4th
Cir. 2004). In any event, we lack jurisdiction to review the finding that Serrano-Aguilar’s
asylum application was untimely filed. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3) (2012); Gomis v. Holder,
571 F.3d 353, 358-59 (4th Cir. 2009).
