USCA4 Appeal: 22-2243        Doc: 40        Filed: 11/02/2023      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Zenaida Yamileth Garcia-Rodriguez and her minor daughter, A.G.P.G., ∗ natives

        and citizens of El Salvador, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

        Appeals dismissing Garcia-Rodriguez’s appeal from the immigration judge’s decision

        denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the

        Convention Against Torture. We have 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. See In

        re Garcia-Rodriguez (B.I.A. Nov. 4, 2022). 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

               ∗
                   A.G.P.G. was a derivative asylum applicant. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(3).

                                                      2
