and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have
jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, Lolong v.
Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1178 (9th Cir. 2007) (en banc), we deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s conclusion that Parulian failed to
establish past persecution. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 101 6-17 (9th Cir.
2003). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s conclusion that Parulian
failed to establish a clear probability of furture persecution because he has not
provided sufficient evidence that he will be specifically targeted for persecution.
See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2003).
Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief
because Parulian failed to show it was more likely than not that he would be
tortured in Indonesia. See Singh v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 1100, 1113 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
