PER CURIAM:

            San    Chen,      a   native       and   citizen      of    the     People’s

Republic of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board

of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the

Immigration Judge’s decision denying his requests for asylum and

withholding of removal.           We have thoroughly reviewed the record,

including the various documentary exhibits relevant to country

conditions in China, the transcript of Chen’s merits hearing,

and Chen’s supporting affidavit and 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)

(2006),    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: Chen (B.I.A. Apr. 8, 2013).                 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
