Juanita Kamagi v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Juanita Kamagi, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for asylum and withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo questions of law and for substantial evidence factual findings. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009). We deny the petition for review.

Kamagi contends she suffered past persecution on the basis of an attack in 1997 and her husband’s loss of employment in 2000, and she contends she will be persecuted in the future as an ethnic Chinese Christian. We reject Kamagi’s request to remand her case because the BIA reasonably concluded that the IJ made a finding of no past persecution and also made its own determination that the 1997 attack did not constitute past persecution. The record does not compel the conclusion that the incidents Kamagi cites, even cumulatively, rise to the level of persecution. See id. at 1059-60 (two beatings and robberies and being accosted by hostile mob did not compel finding of past persecution); Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d…
