PER CURIAM:
Muyapende Willy Kanku, a native and citizen of the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)
dismissing his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s denial of his application for adjustment
of status. After thoroughly reviewing the record and Kanku’s claims, we conclude that
substantial evidence supports the Board’s decision. See Djadjou v. Holder, 662 F.3d 265,
273 (4th Cir. 2011) (noting that the adverse credibility finding is reviewed for substantial
evidence). We also conclude that Kanku failed to show that he was denied due process.
See Anim v. Mukasey, 535 F.3d 243, 256 (4th Cir. 2008) (stating elements of due process
claim in removal proceeding). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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
