Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher Smith, 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 requests for withholding of removal
and withholding under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).
We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript
of Smith’s merits hearing, and Smith’s supporting affidavit and
other evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not
compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative findings
of fact, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), 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. 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
