United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 13-1771 ___________________________ Edilmar Mateo Alonzo-Castro 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of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ____________ Submitted: December 17, 2013 Filed: December 30, 2013 [Unpublished] ____________ Before MURPHY, SMITH, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. 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 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) (substantialevidence standard for reviewing denial of withholding of removal). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 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). -2-
