PER CURIAM:

            Syaiful    Bakhri,    a   native    and     citizen      of    Indonesia,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals    (Board)    dismissing      his     appeal    from     the      Immigration

Judge’s denial of his applications for relief from removal.

            Bakhri challenges the determination that he filed a

frivolous     application      for    asylum.          We    have    reviewed     the

administrative       record     and   find      that        substantial      evidence

supports the determination below that Bakhri filed a frivolous

asylum application.         See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(d)(6) (2006); 8 C.F.R.

§ 1208.20 (2009); Matter of Y-L-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 151 (B.I.A.

2007).      We   further    uphold    the    agency’s       negative      credibility

finding for the reasons stated by the Board.                   See In re: Bakhri,

(B.I.A. May 20, 2008).

             Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.                        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.


                                                                    PETITION DENIED
