PER CURIAM:
Syaiful Bakhri, a native and citizen of Indonesia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the Immigration
Judge’s denial of his applications for relief from removal.
Bakhri challenges the determination that he filed a
frivolous application for asylum. We have reviewed the
administrative record and find that substantial evidence
supports the determination below that Bakhri filed a frivolous
asylum application. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(d)(6) (2006); 8 C.F.R.
§ 1208.20 (2009); Matter of Y-L-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 151 (B.I.A.
2007). We further uphold the agency’s negative credibility
finding for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Bakhri,
(B.I.A. May 20, 2008).
Accordingly, we 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
