U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2009-11-30

Applies 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (§ 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter))

Relies on Melencio Legui Lim v. Immigration and Naturalization Service · Abdul Hakeem v. Immigration and Naturalization Service · Lolong v. Gonzales

Decided 2009-11-30

¶1 MEMORANDUM …

¶2 Robinson Hamonangan K Pasaribu, a 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 withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Cruz-Navarro v. INS, 232 F.3d 1024, 1028 (9th Cir.2000), and deny the petition for review.

¶3 Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Pasaribu failed to establish past persecution, see Lim v. INS, 224 F.3d 929, 936 (9th Cir.2000) (threats constitute past persecution only when they are “so menacing as to cause significant, actual suffering or harm”), and failed to demonstrate a clear probability of persecution on account of his Christianity, see Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1179 (9th Cir.2007) (en banc) (“a general, undifferentiated claim” does not make petitioner eligible for relief); Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812, 816-17 (9th Cir.2001). Accordingly, his withholding of removal claim fails.

¶4 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
