MEMORANDUM **
Meisia Limasarian, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of her application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition.
*465Where the BIA affirms without an opinion, we review the IJ’s decision as the final agency decision. Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849 (9th Cir.2003). We review for substantial evidence the factual findings underlying the IJ’s denial of asylum and withholding of removal. See Gormley v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir.2004).
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s determination that Limasarian failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of her Chinese ethnicity or Christian beliefs because a large number of her similarly-situated family members reside in Indonesia without persecution. See Aruta v. INS, 80 F.3d 1389, 1395 (9th Cir.1996).
Because Limasarian does not satisfy the standard for asylum, she necessarily fails to satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Alvarez-Santos v. INS, 332 F.3d 1245, 1253 (9th Cir.2003).
Pursuant to Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004), Limasarian’s motion for stay of removal included a timely request for stay of voluntary departure. Because the stay was continued based on the government’s filing of a notice of non-opposition, the voluntary departure period was also stayed, nunc pro tunc, to the filing of the motion for stay of removal and this stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
