PER CURIAM:

      Jose Rogelio Hernandez Alas, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his requests for

withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have

thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Hernandez Alas’s merits

hearing and all supporting evidence. We 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 Hernandez Alas (B.I.A. Oct. 18, 2018). 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
