Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 15, 2011 **
Before: CANBY, O’SCANNLAIN, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
Andrian Sutheno, 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 asylum, withholding of
removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“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.
The record does not compel the conclusion that Sutheno established
extraordinary circumstances to excuse his untimely asylum application. See
8 C.F.R. § 1208.4(a)(5); Dhital v. Mukasey, 532 F.3d 1044, 1050 (9th Cir. 2008).
Accordingly, we deny the petition as to his asylum claim.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Sutheno’s experiences
in Indonesia, including the bombing of his church, did not rise to the level of past
persecution, see Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir. 2009).
Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s finding that Sutheno failed to
demonstrate a clear probability of future persecution because, even as a member of
a disfavored group, he did not establish sufficient individualized risk. See Hoxha
v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, Sutheno’s
withholding of removal claim fails.
Finally, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s denial of CAT relief
because Sutheno failed to establish it is more likely than not he will be tortured
upon return to Indonesia. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1067-68.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
