PER CURIAM:

Isela Ramos-Lopez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order

of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing Ramos-Lopez’s appeal from the

Immigration Judge’s denial of her application for protection under the Convention Against

Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record and Ramos-Lopez’s claims and

conclude that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief. Cabrera Vasquez v. Barr,

919 F.3d 218, 222 (4th Cir. 2019) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we deny the

petition for review. In re Ramos-Lopez (B.I.A. Oct. 22, 2024). 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
