MEMORANDUM **

Budiadi Tjhin, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 n. 1, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 88 (1992), and we deny the petition.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of withholding of removal because Tjhin failed to establish past persecution. See Nagoulko v. INS, 338 F.3d 1012, 1016-18 (9th Cir. 2003). In addition, even if the disfavored group analysis set forth in Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922 (9th Cir. 2004) applies to withholding of removal claims, the record does not compel the conclusion that Tjhin has demonstrated a clear probability of future persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, Tjhin’s withholding of removal claim fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
