PER CURIAM:

     Rainer Guido Veerkamp petitions for review of the Board of Im-

migration Appeals' reversal of the Immigration Judge's order grant-

ing his application for a waiver of deportation under § 212(h) of

the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C.A. § 1182(h) (West

Supp. 1997). The Board of Immigration Appeals granted Veerkamp's
motion to reopen deportation proceedings and remanded the case to

the Immigration Judge for further proceedings. Therefore, the

decision Veerkamp sought to be reviewed no longer is in effect.

Because no appeal currently is ripe for review before this court,
we dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                         DISMISSED
