PER CURIAM:
Arturo Martinez Pulido, a native and citizen of
Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the
immigration judge’s denial of his requests for asylum and
withholding of removal. * We have thoroughly reviewed the record,
including the transcript of Martinez Pulido’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), 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: Martinez Pulido (B.I.A.
Apr. 9, 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
*
The immigration judge also denied Martinez Pulido’s
request for protection under the Convention Against Torture.
Martinez Pulido failed, however, to appeal this portion of the
immigration judge’s decision.
