Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Muchdy Aldjokja, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") dismissal of his appeal from an Immigration Judge's ("IJ") denial of his applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1), and we deny the petition.
In his application for withholding of removal, Aldjokja claimed that he was subject to past persecution in Indonesia because of his Chinese ethnicity and association with Christians. Substantial evidence supports the BIA's finding that even presuming Aldjokja suffered past persecution, his presumption of future persecution has been rebutted by a fundamental change in country conditions. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(b)(1)(i)(A). The State Department's 2005 Country Report indicates that there is ongoing discrimination against and harassment of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia, but there has been only one instance of targeted anti-Chinese violence since 1998. The record also estab lishes that religious violence in Indonesia is sporadic and limited to specific geographic regions. The BIA's analysis of Aldjokja's claims was sufficiently individualized. See Gonzalez-Hernandez v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 995, 1000 (9th Cir. 2003).
On prior remand from this court, the BIA properly considered the application of Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049 (9th Cir.2009), to Aldjokja's presumption of future persecution. Although the BIA did not apply disfavored group analysis to Aldjokja's alternative claim of future persecution under 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(b)(2), any such analysis would have been pointless. An applicant must adduce at least "some evidence of individualized risk" to establish a sufficient likelihood of future persecution. Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1065. The IJ's finding that Aldjokja failed to show any evidence of individualized risk was supported by substantial evidence. See Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1180 nn. 4-5 (9th Cir.2007) (en banc).
Finally, even assuming that Aldjokja did not waive his asylum and CAT claims, substantial evidence supports the BIA's determinations that his asylum claim was time-barred and that he failed to establish eligibility for CAT relief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(B); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
