MEMORANDUM
Ronny Sugiarto, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).
We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, Zhou v. Gonzales, 437 F.3d 860, 864 (9th Cir.2006), and we deny the petition for review.
Sugiarto contends that he suffered past persecution. Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that the cumulative effect of the harms experienced by Sugiarto did not rise to the level of persecution. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir.2009) (holding that incidents of mistreatment, including being stripped naked in front of classmates, being beaten by rioters, and false arrest, detention, and bribe, did not compel finding of past persecution); Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1059-60 (9th Cir. 2009) (holding that two beatings and robberies, including robbery at knifepoint, and being confronted by a mob during a riot, did not compel a finding of past persecution).
