AFFIRMED.
Before WILKINS and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:


1
Vartkes Garabed, a/k/a Vartkes Garabed Nazarian, appeals from the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision denying him relief from deportation under § 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.  We have reviewed the BIA's decision adopting the immigration judge's reasoning and denying relief and discern no abuse of discretion or other error meriting reversal.   See Gandarillas-Zambrana v. Board of Immigration Appeals, 44 F.3d 1251, 1259 (4th Cir.)  (providing standard), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 64 U.S.L.W. 3203, 3239 (U.S. Oct. 2, 1995) (No. 94-1720).  Accordingly, we affirm.*  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.

AFFIRMED


*
 Given this disposition, we deny Nazarian's motion for a stay of deportation pending our resolution of his appeal.  We therefore deny the INS's motion to clarify its opposition to Nazarian's motion as moot
