PER CURIAM:

     Sergei Petrenko petitions for review of a final order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying asylum and withholding

of deportation. Our review of the record discloses that the Board's

decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.
Petrenko v. INS, No. A72-415-219 (B.I.A. Mar. 13, 1996). We dis-
pense 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
