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-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 151, 157

(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
