Edilmar Alonzo-Castro v. Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Opinion
Guatemalan citizen Edilmar Alonzo-Castro petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, which upheld an immigration judge’s decision denying him withholding of removal. 1 After *589 careful review, we conclude that the denial of withholding of removal was supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole. See Malonga v. Holder, 621 F.3d 757, 764 (8th Cir. 2010) (substantial-evidence standard for reviewing denial of withholding of removal). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. Alonzo-Castro was also denied asylum and relief under the Convention Against Torture, but he does not raise these claims in his brief. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir. 2004) (petitioner waives claim that is not meaningfully raised in opening brief).
