On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Submitted: December 11, 2012 Decided: January 8, 2013

Before DIAZ, FLOYD, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David Goren, LAW OFFICE OF DAVID GOREN, Silver Spring, Maryland, for Petitioner. Stuart F. Delery, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Linda S. Wernery, Assistant Director, Kerry A. Monaco, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 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-,

(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
