On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Submitted: March 11, 2010 Decided: March 24, 2010

Before KING, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Kofi Asamoah, ASAMOAH & ASSOCIATES, Gaithersburg, Maryland, for Petitioner. Tony West, Assistant Attorney General, William C. Peachey, Assistant Director, Daniel E. Goldman, Senior Litigation Counsel, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 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
