PER CURIAM:

Jacqueline Torrez-Franco, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review

of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing her appeal from the

Immigration Judge’s denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and

protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record and

Torrez-Franco’s claims 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. In re Torrez-Franco (B.I.A.

Dec. 22, 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.
