313 F.3d 225, 229-31 (5th Cir. 2002), which held that an immigration judge’s
failure to inform an alien of his eligibility for discretionary waiver of removal at

R. 47.5.4.
                               No. 08-40825

Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment
of the district court is AFFIRMED.
