Carlos Eduardo RIVAS-MIRA, Petitioner, v. Eric H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided February 11, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William P. Joyce and Joyce & Associates P.C. on brief for petitioner.

Gregory G. Katsas, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division, Mark C. Walters, Assistant Director, Office of Immigration Litigation, and Anh-Thu P. Mai-Windle, Senior Litigation Counsel, on brief for respondent.

Before LYNCH, Chief Judge, SELYA and BOUDIN, Circuit Judges.

SELYA, Circuit Judge.

The petitioner, Carlos Eduardo Rivas-Mira, is a native of El Salvador. He seeks judicial review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the decision of an immigration judge (IJ) that ordered his removal and denied him asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture (CAT). After careful consideration of the briefs and record, we deny the petition.
