SILITONGA,
Agency No. A096-360-229
Petitioner,
v. MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted May 25, 2010 **
Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.
Andreas John Wesley Silitonga, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions
for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from
an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum,
withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
(“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial
evidence, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny
the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s finding that Silitonga does not have a
well-founded fear of future persecution because, even if he is a member of a
disfavored group, he failed to demonstrate the requisite individualized risk of
persecution. Cf. Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927-29 (9th Cir. 2004).
Accordingly, Silitonga did not establish eligibility for asylum.
Silitonga has failed to set forth any substantive arguments regarding the
agency’s denial of withholding and CAT relief. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94
F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996) (issues not supported by argument are deemed
waived).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
