LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted January 20, 2016** Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges. Jesus Jose Gonzalez-Ontiveros, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision finding him removable and denying his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review. Gonzalez-Ontiveros does not meaningfully challenge the BIA’s denial of CAT relief or the BIA’s dispositive determination that he failed to establish a particular social group for an asylum or withholding of removal claim. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not supported by argument are deemed abandoned). We decline Gonzalez-Ontiveros’ request to extend the holding in Desir v. Ilchert, 840 F.2d 723 (9th Cir. 1988) to the situation in Mexico and GonzalezOntiveros’ distinguishable claims. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 14-70794
