USCA4 Appeal: 22-1321 Doc: 27 Filed: 08/31/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Katia Carolina Vargas Anariba and her minor daughter, natives and citizens of Honduras, petition for review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying their applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. After thoroughly reviewing the record, we conclude that the evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to 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. 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
