Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We deny the petition for review.
Gonzalez-Ontiveros does not meaningfully challenge the BIA’s denial of
CAT relief or the BIA’s dispositive determination that he failed to establish a
particular social group for an asylum or withholding of removal claim. See
Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996) (issues not
supported by argument are deemed abandoned).
We decline Gonzalez-Ontiveros’ request to extend the holding in Desir v.
Ilchert, 840 F.2d 723 (9th Cir. 1988) to the situation in Mexico and Gonzalez-
Ontiveros’ distinguishable claims.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
