Opinion:
SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM
In a prior Memorandum, we dismissed in part (asylum), held in abeyance in part (withholding of removal), and denied in part (Convention Against Torture) petitioners' direct appeal petitions (Nos. 03-74607 and 03-74608); and we granted peti tioners' motion to reopen petition (No. 04-74012) and remanded to the Board of Immigration Appeals for reconsideration of petitioners' motion to reopen. On remand, the BIA vacated its prior decision, reopened removal proceedings, and remanded to the Immigration Judge for further consideration of petitioners' applications for asylum and withholding of removal.
In light of the BIA's decision, the remaining claims in case numbers 03-74607 and 03-74608 are moot and are hereby
DISMISSED.
