   MEMORANDUM

Johnson Napitulpulu, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny the petition for review.

The IJ denied Napitulpulu’s asylum application claim as time-barred. Napitulpu-lu does not challenge this finding in his opening brief.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s finding that Napitulpulu failed to demonstrate a clear probability of persecution, see Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1185 (9th Cir.2003), and his claim is further undermined by the safe, continued presence of his similarly situated family members in Indonesia, see Hakeem v. INS, 273 F.3d 812, 816-17 (9th Cir.2001). Accordingly, Napitulpulu’s withholding of removal claim fails.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
