PER CURIAM:
Julio Cesar Argueta-Rodriguez, a native and citizen of El
Salvador, petitions for review of orders of the Board of
Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal of the Immigration
Judge’s denial of his applications for withholding of removal
and protection under the Convention Against Torture, and denying
reconsideration. We have thoroughly reviewed the record,
including the transcript of the merits hearing, the applications
for relief, and all supporting 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)
(2012), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s
decision. See INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992).
We further find no abuse of discretion in the Board’s decision
denying reconsideration. See Narine v. Holder, 559 F.3d 246,
249 (4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we deny the petitions for
review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re:
Argueta-Rodriguez (B.I.A. Jan. 26 & Mar. 26, 2015). 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.
PETITIONS DENIED
