Runkui Wang v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
Opinion
MEMORANDUM
Petitioner Runkui Wang, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of an order from the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming without opinion the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a), and we deny the petition for review.
“When the BIA summarily affirms the IJ’s decision, we review the IJ’s decision as the final agency action.” Pagayon v. Holder, 675 F.3d 1182, 1188 (9th Cir.2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). Legal questions are reviewed de novo. Lopez-Cardona v. Holder, 662 F.3d 1110, 1111 (9th Cir.2011). Factual findings are reviewed for substantial evidence and are treated as conclusive unless the record compels a contrary conclusion. Id. We review a denial of asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under CAT for substantial evidence. Sinha v. Holder, 564 F.3d 1015, 1020, 1025 (9th Cir.2009).
Wang failed to challenge the IJ’s denial of withholding of removal or protection under CAT. We deem those claims waived. See Rizk v. Holder, 629 F.3d 1083 , 1091 n. 3 (9th Cir.2011).
