ERIC H HOLDER, JR, U S ATTORNEY GENERAL

                                                   Respondent


                          Petition for Review of an Order of the
                             Board of Immigration Appeals
                                   BIA No. A99 140 198


Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Ubaldo Hernandez, a native and citizen of Mexico, has petitioned for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) summary dismissal of his
appeal for      failure    to   file    a   supporting   brief   pursuant     to   8   C.F.R.
§ 1003.1(d)(2)(i)(E). Hernandez has failed to brief, and has thus waived, the
central issue whether the BIA erred in summarily dismissing his appeal on this
basis. See Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 

, 833 (5th Cir. 2003). Accordingly,
he has not shown error in the BIA’s decision, and his petition for review is
DENIED.


       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
