PER CURIAM: Olakunle Ajibola Ojo, a native and citizen of Nigeria, seeks review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying Ojo’s claims for suspension of deportation and voluntary departure and ordering him deported. We find that substantial evi- dence supports the Board’s decision that Ojo is statutorily pre- cluded from demonstrating the good moral character necessary to sustain applications for suspension of deportation or voluntary departure. See 8 U.S.C.A. § 1101(f) (West 1999). Therefore, we deny Ojo’s 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
