PER CURIAM:
Erick Aldair Portillo-Sanchez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, 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, withholding of removal
and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the
record and Portillo-Sanchez’s claims and conclude that the record evidence does not
compel a ruling contrary to any of the agency’s 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
the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Portillo-Sanchez (B.I.A. June 7, 2016). 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
