BABU ILYAS SIRAJ ALI,
Petitioner,
versus
ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent.
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A79 005 387
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Babu Ilyas Siraj Ali, a native and citizen of Pakistan,
has petitioned for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals’ (BIA) summary dismissal of his appeal pursuant to 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.1(d)(2)(i)(E) (2005). Ali’s brief challenges the Immigra-

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
dismissing his appeal. See Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 830, 838
(5th Cir. 2003). Because he has waived this issue, he has not
shown error in the BIA’s decision. Accordingly, his petition for
review is DENIED.
