2 PER CURIAM:

Valery Choutou Pouemi appeals the tax court’s order

sustaining the Commissioner’s determination of a deficiency with

respect to Pouemi’s 2009 federal income tax liability. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the tax court. Pouemi v.

Comm’r, Tax Ct. No. 001810-13 (U.S. Tax Ct. Aug. 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.

AFFIRMED
