MEMORANDUM ***

Arman Fatimah, an ethnic Chinese Christian and a native and citizen of Indonesia, seeks review of the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) that dismissed his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of 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 the agency’s factual findings for substantial evidence. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Fatimah’s showing of *876schoolyard altercations, a confrontation with Indonesian Muslims dispersed by his uncle, and a robbery in which a native Indonesian cut him with a knife did not rise to the level of past persecution on account of a protected ground. See Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir.2009). Further, substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Fati-mah’s fear of future persecution is not objectively reasonable. Fatimah did not challenge the administrative finding that he failed to show a pattern or practice of persecution against ethnic Chinese and/or Christians in Indonesia. Even under a disfavored group analysis, Fatimah failed to show sufficient individualized risk to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution. See id. at 977-79; cf. Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927-29 (9th Cir.2004).

Finally, the petitioner abandoned his CAT claim because he did not support his claim with argument. Husyev v. Mukasey, 528 F.3d 1172, 1183 (9th Cir.2008); Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259 (9th Cir.1996).
