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
