Before REAVLEY, WIENER, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Manuel Daniel Cepeda petitions for review of an order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) holding that Cepeda’s state

conviction for felony driving while intoxicated was an aggravated

felony warranting his removal from this country.    The respondent

and Cepeda have filed a joint motion to remand the case to the

BIA for reconsideration in light of United States v. Chapa-Garza,

243 F.3d 921, 927 (5th Cir. 2001).   Both parties also move to

withdraw the respondent’s motion to dismiss.



     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 00-60713
                               -2-

     Cepeda’s petition for review is GRANTED.   The order of the

BIA is VACATED, and this case is REMANDED to the BIA for

disposition consistent with Chapa-Garza, 243 F.3d at 927.   All

other outstanding motions are DENIED.
