On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Submitted: February 20, 2015 Decided: March 11, 2015

Before GREGORY and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Aaron R. Caruso, ABOD & CARUSO, LLC, Wheaton, Maryland, for Petitioner. Joyce R. Branda, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Linda S. Wernery, Assistant Director, Thankful T. Vanderstar, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Maria Carmela Pena, a native and citizen of El Salvador,

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 asylum, withholding of

removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We

have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and conclude

that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision. See

INS v. Elias-Zacarias,

502 U.S. 478, 481

(1992). We accordingly

deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the

Board. See In re: Pena (B.I.A. July 21, 2014). 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
