MEMORANDUM**

Luis Enrique Chavez, a native a citizen of Peru, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming the immigration judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of deportation, and suspension of deportation. Because the transitional rules apply, we have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). See Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997).
