   SUMMARY ORDER

Petitioner Xiao Hong Jiang, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a March 31, 2011, decision of the BIA affirming the March 18, 2009, decision of Immigration Judge Steven R. Abrams, pretermitting her application for asylum and denying her claims for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). See In re Xiao Hong Jiang, No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ] (B.I.A. Mar. 31, 2011), aff'g No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ] (Immig. Ct. New York City Mar. 18, 2009). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case.

Because Jiang does not challenge the agency’s pretermission of her asylum application, we need not review that portion of the agency’s decision. See Zhang v. Gonzales, 426 F.3d 540, 541 n. 1, 545 n. 7 (2d Cir.2005). While the government argues that Jiang has further waived any challenge to the agency’s burden finding due to her failure to brief the issue, we conclude that Jiang’s arguments, although summary, are sufficient to bring the issues before this Court.

However, the agency’s finding that Jiang’s week-long detention for px-acticing Zhong Gong did not constitute harm amounting to persecution is reasonable. Brief periods of detention, on their own, do not necessarily rise to the level of persecution and Jiang did not adequately establish any l-elevant physical harm caused by, or duidng, her detention. See Joaquin-Porras v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 172, 182 (2d Cir.2006) (upholding agency’s determination that applicant was not eligible for withholding of removal based on “bi-ief” detention after which he was released “without harm”); see also Ivanishvili v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 433 F.3d 332, 341 (2d Cir.2006) (in order to constitute persecution, the harm to an asylum applicant must be sufficiently sevei’e, rising above .mei'e “harassment.”); Beskovic v. Gonzales, 467 F.3d 223, 227 (2d Cir.2006) (“The circumstances surrounding a petitionei-’s arrest or detention require a case-by-case adjudication by the BIA.”). Furthermore, because Jiang presented no objective evidence that the Chinese government had an open case against her, was seeking her out, or intended to haim her, the agency reasonably concluded that Jiang had not demonstrated an objective basis for a fear of futui-e persecution. See Huang v. INS, 421 F.3d 125, 129 (2d Cir.2005) (finding petitioner’s fear of persecution “speculative at best” where it lacked “solid support in the record”).

For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in this petition is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).
