Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Honduran citizens and siblings Gustavo and Pedro Lizardo Mendoza petition
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an
immigration judge’s (IJ’s) denial of their applications for asylum and withholding of
removal.1 After careful consideration, we conclude that substantial evidence supports
the decision. See Garcia-Milian v. Lynch, 
825 F.3d 943
, 945 (8th Cir. 2016). The
petition for review is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

        The IJ also denied protection under the Convention Against Torture, but that
ruling is not before this court. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 
367 F.3d 751
, 756
(8th Cir. 2004).
