Shawn Houslin, Petitioner Pro Se. Brendan Paul Hogan, UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Shawn Houslin, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions for review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the Immigration

Judge’s decision denying his request for deferral of removal under the Convention Against

Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Houslin’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), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision, see Gomis v.

Holder, 571 F.3d 353, 359 (4th Cir. 2009); Dankam v. Gonzales, 495 F.3d 113, 124 (4th

Cir. 2007). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the

Board. See In re Houslin (B.I.A. Mar. 17, 2021). 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
