Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Agek, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying her application for 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 the agency's factual findings, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that the incidents Agek experienced in Indonesia, even considered cumulatively, did not rise to the level of past persecution. See Halim, v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 976 (9th Cir.2009); see also Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1016 (9th Cir.2003) (record did not compel finding of past persecution where petitioner was discriminated against and harassed, but suffered no significant physical violence). Because Agek failed to demonstrate past persecution, she did not have a rebuttable presumption of future harm. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(b)(1). Further, substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that, even under a disfavored group analysis, Agek failed to establish a clear probability of future persecution on account of her Chinese ethnicity. See Halim, 590 F.3d at 979; Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1066 ("An applicant for withholding of removal will need to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence to prevail[.]"). Consequently, Agek's withholding of removal claim fails.
Finally, substantial evidence also supports the agency's denial of Agek's CAT claim because she failed to demonstrate it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official in Indonesia. See Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir.2008).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
