USCA4 Appeal: 23-1522 Doc: 19 Filed: 04/05/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Guylain Cibaka Tshizubu, a native and citizen of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record and Tshizubu’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 Herrera-Alcala v. Garland, 39 F.4th 233, 245 (4th Cir. 2022) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. In re Tshizubu (B.I.A. Apr. 14, 2023). 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
