MEMORANDUM
Adi Sujana, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 924 (9th Cir.2004), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that the cumulative harm Sujana experienced in Indonesia, including being robbed as a child, did not rise to the level of persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2003). Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s well-founded fear finding because, even as a member of a disfavored group, Sujana failed to demonstrate the requisite individualized risk of persecution. Cf. Sael, 386 F.3d at 927-29 .
Because Sujana did not establish eligibility for asylum, it necessarily follows that he did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir.2006).
