LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,

               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted January 20, 2016**

Before:        CANBY, TASHIMA, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

      Winlesky Burham, native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of

the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) 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 the

agency’s factual findings, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2007),

and deny the petition for review.

      We deny respondent’s request for summary disposition. See Quan v.

Gonzales, 428 F.3d 883, 886 (9th Cir. 2005).

      Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Burham failed to

establish his experiences in Indonesia, even considered cumulatively, rose to the

level of persecution. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir. 2009);

Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1059-60 (record did not compel finding of past persecution

where petitioner was robbed and beaten as a youth and accosted by a mob). We

reject Burham’s contentions that the BIA ignored evidence. Substantial evidence

also supports the BIA’s finding that, even under a disfavored group analysis,

Burham failed to show sufficient individualized risk to establish a well-founded

fear of persecution. See Halim, 590 F.3d at 979. We reject Burham’s contentions

that the BIA applied an incorrect legal standard or ignored evidence. Thus, his

asylum claim fails.

      Because Burham did not establish eligibility for asylum, he did not meet the

more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453
F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2006).

                                         2                                      13-73945
      Finally, substantial evidence supports the denial of Burham’s CAT claim

because he failed to establish it is more likely than not he would be tortured by or

with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to Indonesia. See

Silaya v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th. Cir. 2008).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
