PER CURIAM:

             Bernard   Akwasi   Acheampong,       a   native     and    citizen   of

Ghana,     petitions   for    review    of   an    order    of    the    Board    of

Immigration Appeals (Board) denying relief from removal.                          We

have reviewed the administrative record and Acheampong’s claims

and agree with the agency decision that he is removable for

having been convicted of an aggravated felony.                     See 8 U.S.C.

§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) (2006).            We accordingly deny the petition

for review.      See In re: Acheampong (B.I.A. May 14, 2009).                     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
