    UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a

Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that the petition for review

is DENIED.

    Nency Nency, a native and citizen of Indonesia, seeks

review of a June 26, 2009, order of the BIA, affirming the

undated decision of Immigration Judge (“IJ”) Theresa Holmes-

Simmons, 1 which denied her application for asylum,

withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention

Against Torture (“CAT”).   In re Nency Nency, No. A099 587

585 (B.I.A. June 26, 2009), aff’g No. A099 587 585 (Immig.

Ct. N.Y. City Sept. 24, 2007).    We assume the parties’

familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history

in this case.

    Under the circumstances of this case, we review the

decision of the IJ as supplemented by the BIA.    See Yan Chen

v. Gonzales, 417 F.3d 268, 271 (2d Cir. 2005).    The

applicable standards of review are well established.

Salimatou Bah v. Mukasey, 529 F.3d 99, 110 (2d Cir. 2008);

Manzur v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 494 F.3d 281, 289 (2d


    1
      On September 24, 2007, the Immigration Court issued a
summary of the IJ’s oral decision, which is noted to have
been entered the same day.

                              2
Cir. 2007).

    The agency did not err in its determination that the

harm Nency alleged - which consists primarily of one

incident when she fled from a group of native Indonesians,

and two incidents when native Indonesian men groped her in

public - did not rise to the level of past persecution.       See

Ivanishvili v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 433 F.3d 332, 341 (2d

Cir. 2006)(stating that “persecution does not encompass mere

harrassment”).   Therefore, the agency also did not err in

denying Nency relief based on her asserted well-founded fear

of persecution, to the extent that her fear was based on the

harm she suffered in the past.      See 8 C.F.R.

§§ 208.13(b)(1); 1208.16(b)(1) (mandating that only when an

applicant has established past persecution is she presumed

to have a well-founded fear of persecution).       Finally,

because Nency does not challenge the BIA’s dispositive

grounds for rejecting her “pattern or practice” claim –

namely, that she failed to raise the claim before the IJ –

we do not reach this issue.     See Shunfu Li v. Mukasey, 529

F.3d 141, 146 (2d Cir. 2008).

    Because the agency did not err in concluding that Nency

failed to establish a well-founded fear of persecution if


                                3
returned to Indonesia, the agency’s denial of her

application for asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT

relief was not in error insofar as all three claims shared

the same factual predicate.    See Paul v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d

148, 156 (2d Cir. 2006); Xue Hong Yang v. U.S. Dep’t of

Justice, 426 F.3d 520, 523 (2d Cir. 2005).

    For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is

DENIED.   As we have completed our review, the pending motion

for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot.
