PER CURIAM:

      Marina Gradinaru and her husband, derivative beneficiary Vitalie Osoianu, natives

of the former Soviet Union and citizens of Moldova, petition for review of an order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing their appeal from the immigration

judge’s denial of Gradinaru’s applications for asylum and withholding of removal. 1 We

have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcripts of Gradinaru’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)—including the immigration judge’s adverse credibility

finding 2—and that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief in this case, 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 Gradinaru (B.I.A. May 8, 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


      1
        We lack jurisdiction to address Petitioners’ challenges to the immigration judge’s
denial of Gradinaru’s request for protection under the Convention Against Torture
because Petitioners failed to exhaust their administrative remedies before the Board. See
8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2012); Massis v. Mukasey, 549 F.3d 631, 638-40 (4th Cir. 2008).
      2
        We review credibility determinations for substantial evidence, affording broad—
though not unlimited—deference to the agency’s credibility findings. Ilunga v. Holder,
777 F.3d 199, 206 (4th Cir. 2015); Camara v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 361, 367 (4th Cir.
2004).
