   MEMORANDUM

Jiaxing Chen, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s 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 factual findings, Tekle v. Mukasey, 533 F.3d 1044, 1051 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination based on the inconsistencies in Chen’s testimony regarding his mistreatment while in detention, and how he obtained a Bible after he was released. See Rivera v. Mukasey, 508 F.3d 1271, 1275 (9th Cir.2007) (inconsistencies regarding details of incident that went to the heart of the claim deprived the claim of “the ring of truth”). In the absence of credible testimony, Chen’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
