USCA4 Appeal: 22-2218      Doc: 19         Filed: 07/24/2023      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Juan Francisco Argueta-Marquez, 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 denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of

        removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly

        reviewed the record and conclude that the evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to

        any of the administrative 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). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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

                                                     2
