    Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

   PER CURIAM:

Hendrik Karundeng, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) affirming the Immigration Judge’s order denying relief from removal. Karundeng contends that the Board and Immigration Judge erred in finding him ineligible for withholding of removal.

“To qualify for withholding of removal, a petitioner must show that he faces a clear probability of persecution because of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Rusu v. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 324 n. 13 (4th Cir.2002) (citing INS v. Stevic, 467 U.S. 407, 430, 104 S.Ct. 2489, 81 L.Ed.2d 321 (1984)). Having conducted our review, we conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that Karundeng failed to establish eligibility for withholding of removal.

We accordingly deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
