*421John Ashcroft, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC, pro se.

Before KING, Chief Judge, and WIENER and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *

Yaya Momo Kamara, a purported citizen of Sierra Leone, petitions for review of the BIA’s final order of removal. Kamara argues that his due process and equal protection rights have been violated by imposition of the requirement that he file a grievance with the State Bar of Texas against his former attorney in order to assert a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. We construe the Respondent’s motion for summary affirmance as his brief.

This court lacks jurisdiction to consider Kamara’s arguments because he did not present these claims to the BIA. See Wang v. Ashcroft, 260 F.3d 448, 453 (5th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.

The Respondent’s motion for summary affirmance is DENIED.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED; MOTION DENIED.
