OPINION

MICHAEL DALY HAWKINS, Circuit Judge:

Mooneer Riad Tawadrus ("Tawadrus") appeals the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") affirmation of the Immigration Judge's ("IJ") decision denying him asylum and withholding of removal. Because the BIA summarily affirmed the IJ's judgment without opinion, our review is of the IJ's decision. Fajardo v. INS, 300 F.3d 1018, 1019 n. 1 (9th Cir.2002).
