   MEMORANDUM

Roshdy Shehata Mina Shehata, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir.2006), and we deny the petition for review.

Shehata does not challenge the IJ’s dis-positive finding that his application for asylum was untimely. Accordingly, She-hata’s asylum claim fails.

Even if Shehata was credible, the record does not compel the conclusion that the incident where Muslim men beat him and the incident where the police detained and beat him, even considered cumulatively, amounted to past persecution. See Gu v. Gonzales, 454 F.3d 1014, 1019 (9th Cir.2006). In addition, even if he was a member of a disfavored group, Shehata has not shown sufficient individualized risk to establish a clear probability of persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1185 (9th Cir.2003); Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1066-67 (9th Cir.2009) (“[a]n applicant for withholding of removal will need to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence”). Further, the record does not compel the conclusion that there is a pattern or practice of persecution of Coptic Christians. See id. at 1060-62. Accordingly, Shehata’s withholding of removal claim also fails.

Finally, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because Shehata failed to establish that it is more likely than not he will be tortured by or with the acquiescence of the Egyptian government. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir.2008).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
