Gjonggi Panjaitan v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Mario Roberto Bororing, 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 abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Can o-Merida v. INS, 811 F.3d 960, 964 (9th Cir.2002), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Bororing’s motion to reconsider his withholding of removal claim under the disfavored group analysis where Bororing failed to show sufficient individualized risk to establish that it is more likely than not he would be persecuted in Indonesia. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 979 (9th Cir.2009); Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1066 (9th Cir.2009) (“An 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 Bororing’s request to reconsider our stance regarding a pattern or practice of persecution against Christians in Indonesia, and we do not consider the 2010 Report attached to his opening brief.…
