Wulung v. Mukasey
Wulung v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Teguh Wulung, 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 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, see Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1015 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.
Even if Wulung established extraordinary circumstances to excuse his untimely filed asylum application, substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Wulung’s experiences did not constitute past persecution. See id. at 1016-18. Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s finding that Wulung failed to demonstrate a well-founded fear of future persecution because he did not demon
Because Wulung failed to demonstrate eligibility for asylum, it follows that he did not satisfy the more stringent standard for withholding of removal. See Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1190 (9th Cir. 2006).
Substantial evidence also supports the agency’s determination that Wulung is not entitled to CAT relief because he has not demonstrated that it is more likely than not that he will be tortured if he returns to Indonesia. See Malhi v. INS, 336 F.3d 989, 993 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
