Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit June 22, 1999, Nos. 98-4426, 98-5878 (Mejia Rodriguez v. Reno)

HULL, Circuit Judge:

This consolidated case involves two separate appeals. First, in 1997 Appellant Ernesto Alonso Mejia Rodriguez (“Mejia”) filed a motion to reopen his deportation proceedings, which became final in 1994. The BIA denied Mejia’s motion to reopen. In appeal No. 98-5878, Mejia has filed a petition for review in this Court appealing the BIA’s denial of his motion to reopen.
