Kaligis

MEMORANDUM **

Robert Benjamin Kaligis, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) summarily affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“U”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of deportation and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s determination that Kaligis failed to file his asylum application within one year of arriving in the United States. See Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812, 815 (9th Cir.2001).

We do, however, have jurisdiction to review the IJ’s denial of Kaligis’ petition for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 992 (9th Cir.2003), and we agree with the IJ’s conclusion that Kaligis failed to establish a clear probability that his life or freedom would be threatened on account of an enumerated ground. See Pedro-Mateo v. INS, 224 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.2000).

Kaligis abandoned any contention regarding his eligibility for relief under CAT, by failing to make any argument in the *50 body of his brief.…
