Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Kasim Barus, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order affirming 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. Reviewing for substantial evidence, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009), we deny the petition for review.
Barus does not raise any arguments in his opening brief regarding the agency's dispositive determination that his asylum claim was time-barred. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996) (issues not supported by argument are deemed waived).
Substantial evidence supports the BIA's finding that neither Barus nor his family suffered harm nor received threats. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2003) (petitioner's experiences not so severe as to compel a finding of past persecution). In addition, Barus failed to demonstrate a clear probability of future harm. See id. at 1185 (evidence did not compel a finding that it is more probable than not that applicant would be persecuted); Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1179-80 (9th Cir.2007) (objective well-founded fear not established because applicant made a general, undifferentiated claim). Finally, the record does not compel a finding of a pattern or practice of persecution. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1061. Accordingly, Barus' withholding of removal claim fails. Substantial evidence also supports the agency's denial of CAT relief because Barus failed to establish that it is more likely than not he will be tortured in Indonesia. See id. at 1067-68.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
