Before REAVLEY, WIENER, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Torres-Vargas Baltazar petitions for review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) holding that Baltazar’s

state conviction for felony driving while intoxicated was an

aggravated felony warranting his removal from this country.    The

respondent and Baltazar have filed a joint motion 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).    Both parties

also move to withdraw the respondent’s motion to dismiss.

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 01-60005
                               -2-

     Baltazar’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.
