PER CURIAM:

      Jean Claude Nana, a native and citizen of Cameroon, 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 Nana’s merits hearing 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 Nana, (B.I.A. Feb. 17, 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
