Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit July 19, 2004, No. 02-72658 (Hernandez-Ortiz v. Ashcroft)

MEMORANDUM **

Henrri Fernando Hernandez-Ortiz, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for asylum and withholding of deportation. Because the transitional rules apply, see Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997), we have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
