PER CURIAM:
Lidia Funez-Avilez, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the
Immigration Judge’s denial of her request for protection under the Convention Against
Torture. After thoroughly reviewing the record and Funez-Avilez’s claims, we conclude
that substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision. See Dankam v. Gonzales, 495
F.3d 113, 124 (4th Cir. 2007); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2), (3) (2017). Accordingly, we
deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Funez-Avilez
(B.I.A. July 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
