Docket

*1 Before KING, DENNIS, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: [*]

Lorena Herrarte-Hernandez petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’s (BIA) dismissal of her appeal of the Immigration Judge’s (IJ) denial of her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and withholding of removal under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Because the BIA agreed with the IJ’s findings and conclusions regarding the credibility determination, the IJ’s decision is reviewable. See Zhu v. Gonzales , 493 F.3d *2 Case: 16-60213 Document: 00513871569 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/10/2017

No. 16-60213

588, 593-94 (5th Cir. 2007). The IJ’s adverse credibility determination is supported by substantial evidence. See Wang v. Holder , 569 F.3d 531, 536-40 (5th Cir. 2009). We lack jurisdiction to consider Herrarte-Hernandez’s unexhausted argument that the IJ erred in failing to consider battered women’s syndrome. See Omari v. Holder , 562 F.3d 314, 319 (5th Cir. 2009). She has failed to brief any argument regarding the denial of CAT relief and thereby waived review of this issue. See Chambers v. Mukasey , 520 F.3d 445, 448 n.1 (5th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.
