PER CURIAM:
Ji Dong Yu, 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 his appeal
from the immigration judge’s denial of his requests for asylum and withholding of
removal. * We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Yu’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) (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. In re Ji Dong Yu (B.I.A. Sept. 25, 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
*
Yu does not challenge the denial of his request for protection under the Convention
Against Torture. He has therefore waived appellate review of this claim. See Ngarurih v.
Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 182, 189 n.7 (4th Cir. 2004).
