PER CURIAM:

       Lorena Canales-Reyes, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of an

order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the

immigration judge’s decision denying her applications for withholding of removal and

protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the

record, including the various documentary exhibits, the transcript of Canales-Reyes’

merits hearing, and her 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) (2012), 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 Canales-Reyes (B.I.A. Sept. 9, 2016). 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
