Kazibutowski v. Gonzales

PER CURIAM: * Daniel Kazibutowski appeals the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) order denying withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) and ordering him removed to Venezuela. Kazibutowski challenges only the denial of withholding of removal and has abandoned by failing to brief any challenge to the denial of relief under the CAT. See Rodriguez v. INS, 9 F.3d 408, 414 n. 15 (5th Cir.1993). Kazibutowski argues that the BIA erred in determining that he did not have a well-founded fear of persecution based on his refusal to report for military service. Based upon our review of the record, we conclude that the BIA’s determination is supported by substantial evidence and is reasonable. See Ontunez-Tursios v. Ashcroft, 303 F.3d 341, 350 (5th Cir.2002). Kazibutowski has not shown that the evidence compels a finding that he would face persecution on a protected ground if returned to Venezuela. See Girma v. INS, 283 F.3d 664, 667, 669 (5th Cir.2002); see also Jukic v. INS, 40 F.3d 747, 749 (5th Cir.1994); Alonzo v. INS, 915 F.2d 546, 548 (9th Cir.1990). Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.

R. 47.5.4.
