Before BYE, SMITH, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Abraham Sowe, a native of Gambia and a citizen of Sweden, petitions for
review of an order of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
ordering him removed. We lack jurisdiction to review Sowe’s petition because he was
admitted to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and, as a
condition of entry under the VWP, he waived his right to contest removal on any
ground other than an application for asylum. See 8 U.S.C. § 1187(a)-(b); Lacey v.


      1
       Michael B. Mukasey, now Attorney General of the United States, is substituted
as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c).
Gonzales, 
499 F.3d 514
, 518 (6th Cir. 2007); Handa v. Clark, 
401 F.3d 1129
, 1133
(9th Cir. 2005).

      Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
                     ______________________________
