UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-1551 VICENTA GARCIA-CRUZ DE REYES; A.S.R.; N.M.R.; G.O.R., Petitioners, v. MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Submitted: March 29, 2022 Decided: July 18, 2022 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, WILKINSON, Circuit Judge, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. ON BRIEF: Tilman Dunbar, Jr., LAW OFFICE OF TILMAN DUNBAR, JR., Silver Spring, Maryland, for Petitioners. Brian Boynton, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Keith I. McManus, Assistant Director, Scott M. Marconda, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Vincenta Garcia-Cruz de Reyes and her minor children, natives and citizens of Guatemala, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing their appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision denying Garcia-Cruz de Reyes’ request for asylum and withholding of removal. We have thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that the evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings, see 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. See In re Garcia-Cruz de Reyes (B.I.A. Apr. 9, 2021). 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 2
