PER CURIAM:

            Emeterio Gaerlan Roa, III, and Rachel A. Roa appeal

from the tax court’s order upholding the Commissioner’s notice

of   federal    tax    lien       with      respect       to    the    Roas’    income     tax

liabilities     for    the    2006         through       2010    tax   years.       We    have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                              Accordingly,

we affirm the tax court’s determination that Rachel Roa’s wages

are not exempt from income tax pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 893

(2012), and thus affirm the tax court’s order.                                 See Ying v.

Comm’r, 
25 F.3d 84
, 88 (2d Cir. 1994) (holding that Form I-508

waiver    executed      under          §    247(b)        of     the     Immigration       and

Nationality     Act,    8    U.S.C.         §   1257(b)        (2012),   waives     the    tax

exemption   provided         in   26       U.S.C.    §    893    (2012));      Treas.     Reg.

§ 1.893-1(a)(5) (employee of a foreign government who executes

INS Form I-508 waiver “thereby waives the exemption conferred by

section   893   of     the    Code”).           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.

                                                                                    AFFIRMED
