PER CURIAM:

       Maria Carmela Pena, a native and citizen of El Salvador,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals      (Board)    dismissing        her    appeal     from    the    Immigration

Judge’s      denial    of   her     requests       for    asylum,    withholding    of

removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture.                        We

have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and conclude

that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision.                            See

INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 
502 U.S. 478
, 481 (1992).                     We accordingly

deny   the    petition      for    review    for    the   reasons    stated    by   the

Board.       See In re: Pena (B.I.A. July 21, 2014).                       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
