PER CURIAM:
Dorcas Wangari Kariuki, a native and citizen of Kenya,
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 withholding of removal and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. * We have
thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of
Kariuki’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 Gomis, 571 F.3d at 359.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
reasons stated by the Board. In re: Kariuki (B.I.A. Feb. 23,
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.
PETITION DENIED
* Kariuki does not challenge the denial of her asylum claim
as untimely, and in any event, we lack jurisdiction to review
this finding. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(3) (2012); Gomis v.
Holder, 571 F.3d 353, 358-59 (4th Cir. 2009).
