USCA4 Appeal: 22-1188 Doc: 19 Filed: 06/08/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Juan Angel Hernandez-Benitez and his minor child, natives and citizens of Honduras, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing Hernandez-Benitez’s appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). 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 8 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 for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Hernandez-Benitez (B.I.A. Jan. 25, 2022). 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
