    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Modesto    Santiago      Allasi,   a   native   and     citizen   of   Peru,
    petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
    Appeals denying his application for adjustment of status.                 We have
    reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and
    conclude that substantial evidence supports the Board’s finding
    that Allasi is statutorily ineligible for the relief sought. See 8
    U.S.C. § 1105a(a)(4) (1994);* Matter of Namio, 
    14 I. & N. Dec. 412
    ,
    414 (BIA 1973).
    We accordingly deny the petition for review. 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    We note that 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a)(4) was repealed                   by the
    Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act               of 1996
    (IIRIRA) effective April 1, 1997.       Because this case                 was in
    transition at the time the IIRIRA was passed, 8                            U.S.C.
    § 1105a(a)(4) is still applicable here under the terms                    of the
    transitional rules contained in § 309(c) of the IIRIRA.
