United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 12-3837 ___________________________ Dedi Harianto lllllllllllllllllllllPetitioner v. Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General of the United States lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent ____________ Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ____________ Submitted: August 15, 2013 Filed: August 21, 2013 [Unpublished] ____________ Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Indonesian citizen Dedi Harianto petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which affirmed an immigration judge s decision denying him asylum and withholding of removal.1 After careful review, we find no basis for granting the petition, as the BIA s denial of relief was supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole. See La v. Holder, 701 F.3d 566, 570, 572-73 (8th Cir. 2012) (substantial-evidence standard for asylum claim; denial of asylum dictates same outcome on withholding-of-removal claim based on same underlying factual allegations). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 Harianto was also denied relief under the Convention Against Torture, but he does not address this claim 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). -2-
