ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted February 18, 2014**

Before:        ALARCÓN, O’SCANNLAIN, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.

       David M. David, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of

the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an

immigration judge’s decision denying his application for withholding of removal.

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). We deny the petition for review.

      David claims he will more likely than not face future persecution in

Indonesia. Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that, even

under a disfavored group analysis, David failed to show sufficient individualized

risk to establish it is more likely than not he would be persecuted if removed to

Indonesia. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 978-79 (9th Cir. 2009); see also

Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1066 (“[a]n applicant for withholding of removal will need

to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence to prevail

than would an asylum applicant”). We reject David’s contention that the agency

ignored his arguments related to imputed political opinion. The record does not

compel the conclusion that Chinese Christians face a pattern and practice of

persecution in Indonesia. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1061. Accordingly, David’s

withholding of removal claim fails.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
