   MEMORANDUM

Jaswinder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum and withholding of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1042 (9th Cir.2001), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s determination that Singh’s asylum application was untimely because that finding was based on disputed facts. See Ramadan v. Gonzales, 479 F.3d 646, 650 (9th Cir.2007) (per curiam).

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination based upon the omissions from Singh’s supporting documents of his father’s alleged arrest after Singh’s departure from India, see Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962-63 (9th Cir.2004), and the discrepancies between Singh’s testimony and the medical document he submitted, see Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir.2000) (inconsistencies between testimony and documentary evidence support an adverse credibility finding). Accordingly, in the absence of credible testimony, petitioner’s withholding of removal claim fails. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
