PER CURIAM:
Michael Ademola Adepoju, a native and citizen of
Nigeria, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the
immigration judge’s denial of his requests for adjustment of
status and voluntary departure. We have reviewed the record and
find that substantial evidence supports the finding that Adepoju
is ineligible for adjustment of status and voluntary departure.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons
stated by the Board. See In re: Adepoju (B.I.A. Sept. 10,
2008).* 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
* We specifically uphold the finding that the order imposing
probation without any adjudication of guilt constituted a
conviction for immigration purposes. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1101(a)(48)(A) (2006); Yanez-Popp v. INS, 998 F.2d 231 (4th
Cir. 1993).
