   MEMORANDUM

Jingshu Qian petitions this court to review the Board of Immigration Appeals’s (“BIA”) denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). The BIA upheld the Immigration Judge’s denial of relief based on an adverse credibility determination. Qian failed to raise his withholding of removal and CAT claims in his briefing before this court. Although he made some general arguments regarding asylum, he failed to address the BIA’s reasons for affirming the adverse credibility determination and denying his asylum application. Qian’s arguments with respect to ineffective assistance of counsel are not germane to this issue. Qian therefore waived review of all three claims. See Martinez-Serrano v. I.N.S., 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir.1996) (“Issues raised in a brief that are not supported by argument are deemed abandoned.”).

PETITION DENIED.
