MEMORANDUM***

Petitioner Alfonso Mena was served with an Order to Show Cause why he should not be deported on March 8, 1996. Mena first entered the United States in November 1989. Because seven years did not elapse from the time Mena entered the country to the time he was served with the Order to Show Cause, Mena is ineligible for suspension of deportation. Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510 (9th Cir.
