MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted April 5, 2010 **
Before: RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
Thiela Suhendra Sugiarto, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum,
withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).
Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial
evidence, Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1015 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny in
part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that the harassment
Sugiarto suffered throughout her life and the incidents with airport workers in 1997
in Indonesia do not rise to the level of past persecution. See id. at 1016-18. In
addition, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of a well-founded fear of
persecution, because even as a member of a disfavored group, Sugiarto failed to
demonstrate an individualized risk of persecution. Cf. Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d
922, 927-29 (9th Cir. 2004).
We lack jurisdiction to review Sugiarto’s contentions regarding withholding
of removal and CAT relief, because she failed to raise them before the agency. See
Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
