                          No. 00-60846
                               -2-

motion to dismiss and to withdraw the petitioner’s “response to

‘respondent’s motion to remand.’”

     Molina-Parada’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.
