PER CURIAM:
Meilan Lin, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal
from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Lin’s application for asylum and
withholding of removal. We have considered Lin’s claims after thoroughly reviewing the
record and 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 Lin (B.I.A. Mar. 29, 2019). 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
