Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A77 761 173

Before JONES, WIENER, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Fredy Emetelio Mazariegos-Diaz, a native and citizen of
Guatemala, petitions this court for review of the Board of
Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision affirming the Immigration
Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of Mazariegos-Diaz’s application for asylum,
withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against
Torture (“CAT”).
Mazariegos-Diaz has failed to challenge the IJ’s adverse
credibility determination in his petition for review and, thus, any
challenge to this determination is waived. See Thuri v. Ashcroft,

380 F.3d 788, 793 (5th Cir. 2004). Mazariegos-Diaz has also failed
to challenge the IJ’s denial of his application for asylum or
relief under the CAT. Therefore, these issues are also waived.
See id. Accordingly, Mazariegos-Diaz’s petition for review is
DENIED.
