PER CURIAM.

Indian citizen Mohamed Shakeel Siddiqui petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, upholding an immigration judge’s determination that he was inadmissible upon reentry to the United States.1 Having jurisdiction

1 Siddiqui does not challenge the adverse credibility determination; or denial of asylum, withholding of removal, relief under the Convention Against Torture, under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(d)(1) and 1252, and upon careful consideration, this court finds no basis for reversal. See Davila-Mejia v. Mukasey, 531 F.3d 624, 627 (8th Cir. 2008) (this court reviews the BIA’s decision, as it is the final agency decision; and to the extent the BIA adopted the IJ’s findings or reasoning, also reviews the IJ’s decision).

The petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

cancellation of removal, and adjustment of status; accordingly, any challenges have been waived. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir. 2004) (where claim is not raised or meaningfully argued in opening brief, it is deemed waived).
