JUAN ALBERTO SUAZO-UMANZOR,
Petitioner,
versus
ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent.
--------------------
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A78 325 120
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Juan Alberto Suazo-Umanzor, a citizen of El Salvador,
petitions this court to review the decision of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying his application for asylum,
withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention
Against Torture (“CAT”). Suazo-Umanzor asserts that his “life
was threatened and because the government of El Salvador appears
to be unable or unwilling to control the gangs in said country”
he is entitled to a grant of asylum.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 04-60199
-2-
Suazo-Umanzor, who is represented by counsel, does not
challenge the immigration judge’s (“IJ’s”) finding that his claim
does not fall within one of the five grounds enumerated in the
Immigration and Nationality Act to establish eligibility for
asylum. Further, he does not challenge the IJ’s finding that he
failed to establish that he could not relocate to another part of
El Salvador to avoid the problems with the gang. Finally, Suazo-
Umanzor does not argue that there was error in the denial of his
application for withholding of removal or protection under the
CAT. As such, Suazo-Umanzor has abandoned all of his claims on
appeal. See Calderon-Ontiveros v. I.N.S., 809 F.2d 1050, 1052
(5th Cir. 1986). Accordingly, Suazo-Umanzor petition for review
of the BIA’s decision is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See 5TH CIR.
