MEMORANDUM **
Billy Jo, 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 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 and will uphold the agency’s decision unless the evidence compels a contrary conclusion. INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We deny the petition for review.
Jo failed to challenge to the agency’s determination that his asylum application was untimely, and thus waived that contention. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996).
We deny the petition with respect to the withholding of removal claim because the record does not compel a finding of past persecution, or a clear probability of future persecution by the government or forces that the government is unable or unwilling to control. See Castro-Perez v. Gonzales, 409 F.3d 1069, 1072 (9th Cir.2005); see also Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1180 (9th Cir.2007) (en banc) (holding that petitioners alleging a pattern or practice of persecution by non-government actors must also prove that the government is unable or unwilling to control those actors.)
Jo’s CAT claim fails because he has not demonstrated that it is more likely than not that he will be tortured if he returns to Indonesia. See El Himri v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 932, 938 (9th Cir.2004).
Jo’s unopposed request for a sixty-day extension to file a supplemental brief, filed on August 30, 2007, is granted. The clerk shall file Jo’s supplemental brief, received on September 17, 2007.
Respondent’s motion for leave to file respondent’s supplemental brief out of *487time, filed November 6, 2007, is granted. The clerk shall file respondent’s supplemental brief, received on November 6, 2007.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
