PER CURIAM:

       David Gonzalez Garcia, his wife, Flor Jessenia George George, and their minor

child, B.D.G.G., (collectively “Petitioners”), natives and citizens of Honduras, petition for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing their appeal

from the immigration judge’s denial of their requests for asylum, withholding of removal,

and protection under the Convention Against Torture. * We have thoroughly reviewed the

record, including the transcript of their 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).

       We therefore deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. In re

Gonzalez Garcia (B.I.A. Apr. 14, 2017). 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




       *
        Gonzalez Garcia and George George filed separate applications for relief, listing
each other as derivative beneficiaries. Their child was included as a derivative beneficiary
on both applications.
