                          Memorandum & Order

                                           Dated:   May 11, 2006

          AQUILINO, Senior Judge:    Pursuant to this court's slip

opinion 04-149, 28 CIT       (Nov. 24, 2004), final judgment was

entered, dismissing this action.    Upon subsequent denial of a mo-

tion for rehearing per slip opinion 05-15, 29 CIT         (Feb. 3,

2005), the originally-pro-se plaintiff's adoptive counsel prose-

cuted an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal

Circuit, which handed down a decision that concluded:

          The judgment of the United States Court of Interna-
     tional Trade is vacated in part, reversed in part, and
     the case is remanded with instructions to dismiss.

Sergio U. Retamal & John J. Galvin v. U.S. Customs & Border Pro-

tection, 439 F.3d 1372, 1378 (Fed.Cir.    2006).

          That court's judgment issued as a mandate on April 27,

2006 to the foregoing effect causes this court to reaffirm that all
Court No. 03-00613                                           Page 2

that its judgment did on November 24, 2004 was to do what the

appellate remand now seemingly requires, to wit, dismiss this

action.

            Ergo, it is once again so ordered.
