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.
                       ______________________________

       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).
