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) (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).
