    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied the petition for review from Dorcas Wangari Kariuki, a native and citizen of Kenya. The court had thoroughly reviewed the record from Kariuki's merits hearing before the immigration judge and the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision dismissing her appeal. The court concluded that substantial evidence supported the BIA's denial of Kariuki's requests for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture. As such, the court denied the petition for the reasons provided by the BIA.
