MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 26, 2012 **
Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
Lawrence Ray Malonda, 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, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny
the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Malonda did not
experience harms in Indonesia that rise to the level of past persecution. See Halim
v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir. 2009). In addition, substantial evidence
supports the BIA’s determination that, even under a disfavored group analysis,
Malonda did not demonstrate sufficient individualized risk to establish a clear
probability of persecution, see Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1185 (9th Cir.
2003); 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”),
and did not demonstrate there is a pattern or practice of persecution against
Chinese Christians in Indonesia, see Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1060-62. Accordingly,
Malonda’s withholding of removal claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
