PER CURIAM:
Valentin Alexandrovich Khoroshkov, a native and
citizen of Kazakhstan, petitions for review of an order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal
from the immigration judge’s decision denying his requests for
asylum and withholding of removal. We have thoroughly reviewed
the record, including the various documentary exhibits relevant
to country conditions in Kazakhstan, the transcript of
Khoroshkov’s merits hearing, and Khoroshkov’s supporting
affidavit and evidence. We conclude that the record evidence
does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the Board’s factual
findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2006), 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: Khoroshkov (B.I.A. Oct. 11, 2012). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
