PER CURIAM:

       Enrique Alexander Hernandez Rodriguez (Rodriguez), a native and citizen of El

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

dismissing Rodriguez’s appeal from the Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications

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

have reviewed the arguments pressed by Rodriguez in conjunction with the certified

administrative record, including the transcript of the merits hearing and all supporting

evidence, and the relevant legal authorities.     Despite Rodriguez’s assertions to the

contrary, 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 “on the record considered as a whole” supports the denial of relief in

this case, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992) (internal quotation marks

omitted).

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

See In re Rodriguez (B.I.A. May 15, 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
