PER CURIAM:

     Wen Jian Ni, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of

China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals   dismissing   his   appeal       from   the    immigration   judge’s

decision finding that he filed a frivolous application for asylum.

Based on our review of the record, we conclude that substantial

evidence supports the agency’s finding that Ni knowingly and

deliberately filed a frivolous asylum application.             See Matter of

Y-L-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 151, 157-60 (B.I.A. 2007).             Accordingly, we

deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.

In re: Wen Jian Ni (B.I.A. May 1, 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.

                                                             PETITION DENIED
