PER CURIAM:
Santa Esperanza Villanueva Guerrero, a native and
citizen of the Dominican Republic, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing
her appeal from the immigration judge’s order finding her
removable. We deny the petition for review.
In her pro se informal brief, Guerrero contends her
counsel was ineffective and that her removal would be an extreme
hardship to her children. Because she does not challenge the
Board’s conclusion that she was removable, the issue is waived.
See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Guerrero’s issues in her informal brief
were not raised on appeal to the Board. Because she failed to
exhaust the issues, we are without jurisdiction to review them.
See Asika v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 264, 267 n.3 (4th Cir. 2004).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court, and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
