PER CURIAM:

     Rosa Gloria Benavides-Castro, a native and citizen of El

Salvador,    petitions   for   review    of    an   order    of    the   Board    of

Immigration    Appeals   (Board)    dismissing         her   appeal      from    the

immigration judge’s denial of her requests for asylum, withholding

of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.

We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript

of Benavides-Castro’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 INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S.
478, 481 (1992).

     Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons

stated by the Board.         In re Benavides-Castro (B.I.A. Apr. 21,

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
