       2                      Opinion of the Court                 23-12311

       Before BRANCH, LUCK, and LAGOA, Circuit Judges.
       PER CURIAM:
               The Attorney General’s unopposed motion to dismiss the
       petition for review for lack of jurisdiction is GRANTED, and the
       petition is DISMISSED. Wilmer de Jesus Cruz filed the instant pe-
       tition for review of the June 28, 2023, Board of Immigration Ap-
       peals (“BIA”) decision dismissing his appeal of the Immigration
       Judge’s (“IJ”) final order of removal. Subsequently, the parties filed
       a joint motion with the BIA to reopen and remand the removal
       proceedings to the IJ, which the BIA granted on February 29, 2024.
       Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction because the IJ’s removal order is
       no longer a final order of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1), (b)(9)
       & (d); Jaggernauth v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 432 F.3d 1346, 1350 (11th Cir.
       2005).
