Before REAVLEY, WIENER, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Leopoldo Perez-Gonzalez petitions for review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) holding that Perez-

Gonzalez’s state conviction for felony driving while intoxicated

was an aggravated felony warranting his removal from this

country.   The respondent has moved to dismiss the petition for

review and 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).    Perez-Gonzalez has replied to the respondent’s


     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 01-60127
                                -2-

motion to remand.   He does not dispute the respondent’s

contention that this case should be remanded to the BIA, but he

does argue that his petition for review should be granted rather

than dismissed.

     Perez-Gonzalez’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.
