DONALD GORDON v. JEFFERSON SESSIONS III (2017)

Donald Gordon, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal of the Immigration Judge's denial of his requests for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record, including the transcript of Gordon's merits hearing and all supporting evidence. We conclude that the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to any of the agency's factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2012), and that substantial evidence supports the agency's decision, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See In re Gordon (B.I.A. May 31, 2017). We deny Gordon's motion to appoint counsel and 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
