PER CURIAM:
Astou Diop, a native and citizen of Senegal, seeks review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) affirming
without opinion the Immigration Judge’s (IJ) decision to deny
relief from removal. Diop first challenges the IJ’s finding that
she knowingly filed a frivolous asylum application. Upon our
review of the administrative record and the IJ’s decision, we
uphold the finding that Diop’s asylum application was frivolous.
See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.20 (2008). Next, Diop argues that the IJ erred
in denying withholding of removal. Diop fails to demonstrate,
however, that she is entitled to such relief. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1231(b)(3).
We accordingly deny the petition for review. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
