R. 47.5.4.

                               -2-

agrees that the case should be remanded to the BIA for

reconsideration in light of Chapa-Garza.

     Flores-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.
