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.
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.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
