MEMORANDUM **

Jorge Gonzalez-Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“U”) denial of his application for asylum, withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We dismiss in *300 part and deny in part the petition for review.

INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093 (9th Cir.2002).

We review for substantial evidence the IJ’s denial of Gonzalez-Gonzalez’s application for withholding of removal. See Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812, 816 (9th Cir.2001). Gonzalez-Gonzalez testified that in 1979, his father, a state police officer, was murdered by drug cartel members or members of the state police. He also testified that he was not physically harmed or threatened while in Mexico.…
