PER CURIAM:
Marie Kety Duplessy, a native and citizen of Haiti, petitions for review of an order
of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the
Immigration Judge’s denial of her requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the transcript of Duplessy’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, 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 Duplessy (B.I.A. May 18, 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
