PER CURIAM:
Samuel Ndungu Mburu, a native and citizen of Kenya,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the immigration
judge’s decision finding him inadmissible and thus ineligible
for adjustment of status. Mburu “bears the burden of proving
that he clearly and beyond doubt is not inadmissible” under the
false claim bar of 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(ii)(I) (2012).
Dakura v. Holder, 772 F.3d 994, 998 (4th Cir. 2014) (alteration
and internal quotation marks omitted). Based on our review of
the record, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the
agency’s finding that Mburu failed to credibly establish that he
is not inadmissible for falsely representing himself to be a
citizen of the United States. We therefore deny the petition
for review for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Mburu
(B.I.A. Oct. 26, 2015). 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 DENIED
