PER CURIAM:

      Margarita Del Carmen Torres-Mejia and her minor child, natives and citizens of El

Salvador, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)

dismissing their appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Torres-Mejia’s

application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention

Against Torture. We have considered Torres-Mejia’s claims after thoroughly reviewing

the record and 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) (2018), and that substantial

evidence supports the Board’s decision, 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.

See In re Torres-Mejia (B.I.A. Aug. 15, 2019). We deny the motion for summary

disposition as moot and 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
