PER CURIAM:

              Christopher Smith, a native and citizen of Jamaica,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals      (“Board”)     dismissing        his   appeal     from       the    immigration

judge’s decision denying his requests for withholding of removal

and withholding under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).

We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript

of Smith’s merits hearing, and Smith’s supporting affidavit and

other evidence.           We conclude that the record evidence does not

compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative findings

of   fact,    see    8    U.S.C.    §   1252(b)(4)(B),        and    that       substantial

evidence      supports      the    Board’s       decision.         See    INS    v.   Elias–

Zacarias, 

, 481 (1992).                    Accordingly, we deny the

petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.                                 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
