Opinion

Kristian Stev Arriaza-Jimenez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judges (“IJ”) decision denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). After thoroughly reviewing the record, we are satisfied that the 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, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We further agree with the Boards decision that Arriaza-Jimenez did not meaningfully contest the denial of protection under the CAT. See Perez Vasquez v. Garland, 4 F.4th 213, 227-29, No. 19-1954 (4th Cir. July 9, 2021). Accordingly, we deny Arriaza-Jimenezs petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board in its order adopting and affirming the IJs decision. In re Arriaza-Jimenez (B.I.A. Nov. 12, 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.
