under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings,
Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the
petition for review.
Santoso does not contend he suffered past persecution, but contends he faces
future persecution based on his family’s disappointment that he is no longer a
practicing Muslim and general harm by Muslims. Substantial evidence supports
the agency’s finding that Santoso does not face a clear probability of future
persecution. See Fakhry v. Mukasey, 524 F.3d 1057, 1065-66 (9th Cir. 2008);
Lolong v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 1173, 1179 (9th Cir. 2007) (en banc) (a “general,
undifferentiated claim” is not a basis for relief).
In addition, substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief
because Santoso failed to establish it is more likely than not that he will be tortured
if returned to Indonesia. See Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1067-68 (9th Cir.
2009).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
