H.L.S.A., Petitioner Pro Se. Madeline Henley, Sarah L. Martin, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
H.L.S.A., a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s
decision denying his request for withholding of removal and protection under the
Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that
the evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings,
see U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief, see
INS v. Elias-Zacarias,
502 U.S. 478, 481(1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for
review. See In re H-L-S-A-,
28 I. & N. Dec. 228(B.I.A. 2021). We deny H.L.S.A.’s
amended motion to stay removal and motion to appoint counsel. Finally, 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
