PER CURIAM: Xavier Alexander Melville Williams, a native and citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s decision denying deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture. We deny the petition for review.

We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Williams’ merits hearing and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the agency’s factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision, Nasrallah v. Barr, 590 U.S. 573, 584 (2020) (stating standard of review).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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
