PER CURIAM: Appellant Felix Orlando Aldana-Archila seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (“Board”) decision and order affirm- ing the immigration judge's denial of his application for waiver of deportation. On petition for review, Aldana-Archila argues that the immigration judge improperly admitted Form I-213 and Aldana- Archila’s statements to INS officers to prove alienage. Our review of the record discloses that the Board properly affirmed the immigration judge’s decision and that this appeal is without merit.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Felix Orlando Aldana-Archila, No. A-72-349-427 (B.I.A. Mar. 4, 1999). 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.

AFFIRMED
