PER CURIAM:
Jose Rogelio Hernandez Alas, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his requests for
withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have
thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Hernandez Alas’s merits
hearing and all supporting evidence. We 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 review for the reasons stated by the Board.
See In re Hernandez Alas (B.I.A. Oct. 18, 2018). 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
