MEMORANDUM **

Widya Kurnia, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) summarily affirming the order of an immigration judge (“IJ”) denying her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 , and we review the IJ’s decision as the final agency determination. Gormley v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir.2004).
