Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jean Paul Anyah, 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 decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the
record, including the transcript of Anyah’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), and that substantial evidence
supports the denial of relief, 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
Anyah, (B.I.A. June 5, 2020). 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
