               Respondent.



                       On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted January 11, 2010 **

Before:        BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

        Purnomo Suseko, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of a

Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an

immigration judge’s decision denying his application for withholding of removal

and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction

under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review factual findings for substantial evidence.

Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny the

petition for review.

       Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that the presumption

that Suseko is eligible for withholding of removal is rebutted by fundamental

changed circumstances, see 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(b)(1)(i)(A), because the BIA’s

analysis of the State Department report was sufficiently individualized and its

resolution of potentially contradictory statements in the report was rational, see

Gonzalez-Hernandez v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 995, 998-99 (9th Cir. 2003).

       Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of CAT relief because

Suseko has failed to show, as a moderate Muslim, that it is more likely than not

that he will be tortured if returned to Indonesia. See Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d

1049, 1067-68 (9th Cir. 2009).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
