Opinion:
Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
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.
