MEMORANDUM **

Ovidio Dimas Monteroso-Barillas, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006).

In his opening brief, Monteroso-Barillas does not challenge the agency’s denial of his asylum claim as untimely, or its adverse credibility determination. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not specifically raised and argued in an opening brief are waived). In the absence of credible testimony, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Monteroso-Barillas failed to establish eligibility for withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003). Further, because Monteroso-Barillas’ claim for relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) was based on the same testimony, and he does not point to any evidence in the record indicating it is more likely than not he will be tortured if he returns to Guatemala, substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s denial of his CAT claim. See id. at 1156-57.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
