                                     United States Court of Appeals,

                                             Eleventh Circuit.

                                               May 4, 1999.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (No. 97-3799-CIV-EBD);
Edward B. Davis, Judge.

Before CARNES and HULL, Circuit Judges, and HENDERSON, Senior Circuit Judge.

        BY THE COURT:

        The United States Supreme Court narrowly has restricted the circumstances in which a court of

appeals can recall a mandate in a case. Calderon v. Thompson, 
523 U.S. 538
, 
118 S. Ct. 1489
, 1498, 
140 L. Ed. 2d 728
(1998). In view of what the Supreme Court instructs in Calderon, we deny the Petitioner

Richardson's "Application to Withdraw this Court's Mandate and Stay or Summarily Reverse its Decision in

light of Reno v. American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, et al."

        Since Richardson has filed a petition for certiorari in the Supreme Court, we would welcome,

however, an opportunity to revisit our decision in Richardson v. Reno, 
162 F.3d 1338
(1998), in light of the

Supreme Court's decision in Reno v. American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, --- U.S. ----, 
119 S. Ct. 936
, --- L.Ed.2d ---- (1999) ("AADC "), if the Supreme Court should vacate our decision and remand for

further proceedings in this case, which would automatically recall the mandate. Unless and until that

happens, this Court lacks the authority to decide whether INA § 1252(b)(9) precludes jurisdiction,

independently of INA § 1252(g), or any other issues arising in the wake of the AADC decision. 8 U.S.C. §§
1252(b)(9) and 1252(g). See 
American-Arab, 119 S. Ct. at 943
; 
Richardson, 162 F.3d at 1345-46
, 1354, 1358

n. 99, 1373-74, 1377.
