Before WOLLMAN, MURPHY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Mexican citizen Gabriel Salazar-Viramontes 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 consideration of the petition, we
find no basis for reversal. See Ming Ming Wijono v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 868, 872
(8th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

       Salazar-Viramontes was also denied asylum and relief under the Convention
Against Torture, but he does not address 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).
