MEMORANDUM

Lawrence Ray Malonda, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for withholding of removal. 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 BIA’s determination that Malonda did not experience harms in Indonesia that rise to the level of past persecution. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir. 2009). In addition, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that, even under a disfavored group analysis, Malonda did not demonstrate sufficient individualized risk to establish a clear probability of persecution, see Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1185 (9th Cir.2003); Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1066 (“[a]n applicant for withholding of removal will need to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence”), and did not demonstrate there is a pattern or practice of persecution against Chinese Christians in Indonesia, see Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1060-62. Accordingly, Malonda’s withholding of removal claim fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
