MEMORANDUM **
Fransiska Lie, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision, which summarily affirmed the Immigration Judge’s (“U”) order denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal and for protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).

INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1431 (9th Cir.1995). On the record before us, Lie failed to establish that ethnic Chinese in Indonesia were subject to the systematic government-sanctioned mistreatment that is required to demonstrate a “pattern or practice” of persecution.
