ORDER***

5
This appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the authority of Duldulao v. INS, --- F.3d ----, 1996 WL 411447 (9th Cir.), 96 Cal.Daily Op.Serv. 5453.

HAGEN, District Judge, concurring:

6
I concur in the result because Duldulao is circuit precedent ostensibly holding this court has no jurisdiction to review any deportation order against aliens convicted of certain crimes, even where the claim sub judice, as here, raises a constitutional question.  But for Duldulao, I believe petitioner's constitutional claim should have been explored and a determination made whether it is barred by Sammaniego-Meraz v. INS, 53 F.3d 245 (9th Cir.1995).

*
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  Fed.R.App. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4
