USCA4 Appeal: 22-1255      Doc: 27         Filed: 01/13/2023      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Maria Antonia Mejia-Cantarero, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for

        review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal

        from the Immigration Judge’s denial of her applications for withholding of removal and

        protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the

        record, including the transcript of Mejia-Cantarero’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 Mejia-Cantarero (B.I.A. Feb. 9, 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

                                                     2
