MEMORANDUM

Bernard Mambo, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for an abuse of discretion the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider. Cano-Merida v. INS, 311 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Mambo’s motion to reconsider his withholding of removal claim in light of this court’s disfavored group cases, because Mambo did not demonstrate sufficient individualized risk to show it is more likely than not he would be persecuted. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 979 (9th Cir.2009); Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1066 (9th Cir.2009) (“[a]n applicant for withholding of removal will need to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence to prevail than would an asylum applicant”). We reject Mambo’s request that the court reconsider its stance regarding a pattern or practice of persecution. We do not consider the 2010 report Mambo attached to his opening brief. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963…
