PER CURIAM:

      Palash Benedict D Costa, Magdalina Mithun D Costa, A.J.D., and A.C.D., natives

and citizens of Bangladesh, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (Board) dismissing their appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of asylum,

withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have

thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of the merits hearing before the

immigration court and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does

not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative 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.

In re D Costa (B.I.A. Dec. 27, 2017). 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
