OPINION

TALLMAN, Circuit Judge.

We must decide whether § 321(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, now repealed, grants derivative citizenship to Petitioner Jhonson Barthelemy. We hold that it does not. We further reject Bar-thelemy’s constitutional challenges to § 321(a). We hold that a bona fide reason supports the legal separation requirement of § 321(a)(3) and that § 321(a)(3) does not discriminate on the basis of gender, at least as applied to this petition. Barthele-my’s petition for review is dismissed.
