UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-2267 MIRNA LIZETH BENITEZ-GUEVARA, Petitioner, v. MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Submitted: December 1, 2021 Decided: January 4, 2022 Before KING and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition dismissed in part and denied in part by unpublished per curiam opinion. Marc Seguinót, SEGUINÓT & ASSOCIATES, PC, Fairfax, Virginia, for Petitioner. Brian M. Boynton, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Leslie McKay, Acting Assistant Director, Sarah K. Pergolizzi, 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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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: Mirna Lizeth Benitez-Guevara, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the Immigration Judge’s denial of her applications for asylum and withholding of removal. * Upon review, we conclude that Benitez-Guevara failed to administratively exhaust her claim that she suffered past persecution. See Perez Vasquez v. Garland, 4 F.4th 213, 228-29 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review in part with respect to this claim. Turning to the remaining claims, 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 in part for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Benitez-Guevara (B.I.A. Nov. 19, 2020). 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 DISMISSED IN PART, DENIED IN PART * Benitez-Guevara does not challenge the denial of her application for relief under the Convention Against Torture. 2 20-2267 Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ca4 4th Cir.
