PER CURIAM. Regina Wozee petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming an Immigration Judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT). After careful review of the record, see Eta-Ndu v. Gonzales, 411 F.3d 977, 982-83 (8th Cir.2005) (standard of review), we agree with the BIA that Wozee failed to prove eligibility for asylum, see Nyonzele v. INS, 83 F.3d 975, 981 (8th Cir.1996); and thus that her claim for withholding of removal necessarily failed as well, see Turay v. Ashcroft, 405 F.3d 663, 667 (8th Cir.2005).
As to the CAT claim, on this court’s remand to the BIA for reconsideration of this claim, the BIA found that the most recent (then 2004) State Department reports showed Charles Taylor — identified as the basis for Wozee’s fear of future persecution — was no longer in power in Liberia and had left the country. See Vonhm v. Gonzales, 454 F.3d 825, 826-27 (8th Cir.2006) (discussing Taylor’s August 2003 departure from Liberia). The BIA further found no evidence that Wozee could not relocate within Liberia.
While we disagree with respondent that Wozee has waived her CAT claim altogether by not submitting another brief following the BIA’s last order, we conclude that the arguments Wozee made in her initial brief as to CAT relief no longer provide a basis for granting her petition on this claim. Cf. Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751, 756 (8th Cir.2004) (petitioner waives claim by not presenting meaningful argument on it in his appellate brief). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.
