PER CURIAM:
Harold Pineda-Aguilar, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the
immigration judge’s denial of his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the transcript of Pineda-Aguilar’s merits hearing and all 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.
In re Pineda-Aguilar, (B.I.A. Dec. 13, 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
