Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Elena Chepurina, a native and citizen of Russia, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
(“Board”) dismissing her appeal from the immigration judge’s
denial of her requests for asylum and withholding of removal. *
We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript
of Chepurina’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: Chepurina (B.I.A. Nov.
18, 2014). 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
*
To the extent that Chepurina seeks to challenge the
immigration judge’s denial of her request for protection under
the Convention Against Torture, we lack jurisdiction on the
ground that Chepurina failed to exhaust her administrative
remedies before the Board. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2012);
Massis v. Mukasey, 549 F.3d 631, 638–40 (4th Cir. 2008).
