PER CURIAM:

              Juan Reyes Lozano-Bolanos, a native and citizen of El

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

Immigration      Appeals       (Board)       dismissing        his        appeal          of   the

Immigration Judge’s decision finding that he was convicted of a

particularly        serious    crime    and      pretermitting           his        request    for

withholding of removal. *            We have thoroughly reviewed the record,

including      the        relevant     exhibits         and        the        transcript        of

Lozano-Bolanos’ merits hearing, and conclude that the Board did

not   abuse    its    discretion       in    finding        that    Lozano-Bolanos             was

convicted      of     a    particularly          serious      crime           and     thus     was

ineligible      for       withholding        of       removal.            See         8    U.S.C.

§ 1231(b)(3)(B)(ii) (2012).                 Accordingly, we deny the petition

for review for the reasons stated by the Board.                                     See In re:

Lozano-Bolanos (B.I.A. Mar. 26, 2014).                        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

      *
       On appeal, Lozano-Bolanos does not challenge the denial of
his applications for asylum and for protection under the
Convention Against Torture.
