AZMI HAKIM,
Petitioner
v.
ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A040 175 173
Before WIENER, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
We previously remanded this case so that the Board of Immigration
Appeals (BIA) could consider whether Azmi Hakim had shown that the
government of Israel would be “willfully blind” to his alleged torture by Muslims,
as required for relief under the Convention Against Torture. Hakim v. Holder,
628 F.3d 151, 155-57 (5th Cir. 2011) (Hakim I). On remand, the BIA concluded
that Hakim had not shown willful blindness. Hakim has filed a petition for
review.
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 11-60538
As Hakim is removable for having committed an aggravated felony, we
have jurisdiction only to determine whether the BIA applied the proper legal
standard or to consider other legal or constitutional issues. See Hakim I, 628
F.3d at 154-55. Although Hakim purports to challenge the BIA’s standard of
review, he is merely attempting to couch in legal terms his factual contentions
that he adequately established the requisite likelihood of torture. The BIA
applied the correct legal standard, and Hakim fails to identify any other legal or
constitutional issue over which we have jurisdiction. The petition for review is
DENIED.
