PER CURIAM:

       Fode Moustapha Camara, a native and citizen of Guinea, petitions for review of an

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

immigration judge’s (IJ) decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of

removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).                We have

thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Camara’s merits hearing and

all supporting 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) (2012).

We see no error in the Board’s finding that the adverse credibility finding was not clearly

erroneous. We also conclude that the Board did not err by denying Camara’s motion for

clarification or by permitting the IJ to accept additional evidence on remand and to reassess

the adverse credibility finding.    Additionally, we conclude that substantial evidence

supports the Board’s denial of relief under the CAT. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S.

478, 481 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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
