MEMORANDUM **
Ivonne Hermawan and her husband, natives and citizens of Indonesia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s decision denying their application for asylum, withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) (No. 06-71469), and the BIA’s denial of their motion to reconsider its decision (No. 06-73474). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1015 (9th Cir.2003) and for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider, Lara-Torres v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 968, 972 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petitions for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that the mistreatment Hermawan experienced did not rise to the level of past persecution. See Nagoulko, 333 F.3d at 1016-17 . In addition, Hermawan failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution because, although she is a member of a disfavored group, she did not demonstrate the requisite individualized risk of persecution. Cf. Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927-28 (9th Cir.2004).…
