PER CURIAM:
Halima Abadura Beshir, a native and citizen of
Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing her appeal from the
immigration judge’s decision finding Beshir ineligible for
adjustment of status as an alien who knowingly made a frivolous
application for asylum. Based on our review of the record, we
conclude that the preponderance of the evidence supports the
agency’s finding that Beshir filed a frivolous asylum
application. See Matter of Y-L-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 151, 157
(B.I.A. 2007). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for
the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Beshir, (B.I.A. Apr.
26, 2012). 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
