Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Dora Alicia Ayala-Godoy, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) affirming and adopting the
immigration judge’s decision denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal,
and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) and dismissing her appeal.
We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the various documentary exhibits and
the transcript of Ayala-Godoy’s merits hearing. 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 Ayala-Godoy (B.I.A. Apr. 30, 2018). 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
